It being therefore evident that Sen-chi-liang, if he really was one of the assassins, had accomplices, and the criminal having confessed his crime, it was the duty of the authorities, before ordering him to be executed, to discover and identify not only his accomplices, but those also who were cognizant of the crime; and the necessary inquiries and other formalities indispensable, as required by the Law, should have been proceeded with, not only in order to arrive at an exact knowledge of the truth, and for the satisfaction of the party offended, but in the present case, even for the interest and dignity of the Chinese authorities, as this was the only method of removing from themselves the responsibility which still attaches to them. And finally, if the allusion made by your Excellency in a previous Despatch, and which is repeated in the confession of the criminal, viz., as to the possibility of the assassins having been bribed by Portuguese, was not calumnious, this was the occasion for your Excellency to justify it, and if the opportunity was not taken advantage of, it is not the fault of this Council, on whom it is incumbent to protest, as they do, against all these violations of rights transgressed, and more especially that of Her Majesty the Queen of Portugal, to whom entire and complete satisfaction is due.\n\nTo the paper which came enclosed in your Excellency's Despatch, and which your Excellency wishes us to regard as the confession of the criminal, this Council will merely here allude for the purpose of declaring to your Excellency, that besides its not possessing any character of authenticity, it is deficient in all the proper forms necessary to establish its validity, notwithstanding your Excellency personally interrogated the criminal; and furthermore, between this paper and the first despatch from Your Excellency, such an identity of ideas, language, and even of style, is perceptible, as lends to the supposition that either both those productions were from the same pen, or that advantage was taken to reiterate in the confession the insults and outrages of the Despatch; and under this supposition, the Council repel them, renewing their former protest; and they demand from Your Excellency the withdrawal of the order which is said to have been given for the exposure at Macao of the head of the executed man, under the assurance that the Portuguese government will never consent that such an exposure should be made in their territory.\n\nIn conclusion, this Council would observe, that the proceedings taken by your Excellency, far from diminishing, aggravate your responsibility in the case of the assassination of the illustrious Governor of this Province; and that instead of being a reparation for the laws and rights transgressed, or a satisfaction to outraged justice, they appear to set at naught all laws and rights, and to outrage justice still further, which can never be satisfied with similar subterfuges, as unworthy in themselves as they are derogatory to those who make use of them.\n\nIn the last place, this Council have to declare again to your Excellency, that reparation being due to Her Majesty for the offence committed against her, this Council reserve to their Sovereign, free and intact, the right of taking that satisfaction which may seem good to her in her wisdom, the Council confining themselves, as their strict duty compels them, to protest to your Excellency.—1st against the unjustifiable detention of the head and hand of the illustrious Governor, which should be delivered without delay;—2d, for the apprehension of the principal and accomplices in his assassination, for which your Excellency is duly responsible since the apprehension of the above-mentioned Sen-chi-liang, which must have enabled the competent authorities to discover them; and 3d, against the intended exposure of the head of that unfortunate man at Macao, holding your Excellency answerable for the consequences which may result in default of compliance.\n\nMacao, 23rd September, 1849.\n\nJURUNINO, Bishop of Macao—Joaquim Antonio de Moraes Carneiro—Ludger Joaquim de Faria Neves—Miguel Pereira Simões—Joze Bernardo Goularte.\n\nMANUEL PEREIRA.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 229279, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12]", "page_number": 230, "title": "CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12]", "content_text": "The Council of Government of the Province of Macao, Timor, and Solor, to Seu, Viceroy of Canton.\n\nMOST EXCELLENT SIR,-The deputed officer sent by your Excellency to make the delivery of the head and hand of the Most Excellent the late Governor, the Councillor Amaral, declined yesterday to fulfil his mission, though, at his own request, the place and hour for that purpose had been fixed by this Government.

The Council have had under their consideration your Excellency's replies of the 28th and 30th September, to the despatches of this Council of the 25th and 27th idem, from which it is clearly seen that your Excellency, feigning not to understand the solid and convincing reasons on which the just demands of this Council are grounded, is endeavouring to elude the principal question, avoiding an explicit and categorical answer. This Council must positively declare to your Excellency, that if you think of making the head and hand of the assassinated Governor an object of barter or exchange, to procure thereby the release of the three Chi­nese detained here, not imprisoned, for the purpose of carrying on enquiries, and who, when these are concluded, will be set at liberty, the Portuguese and all other civilized nations in the world would look upon such an attempt as an iniquitous and nefarious traffic, which demonstrates at least the complacency felt by your Excellency at the assassination of the Governor of Macao, the representative of Her Most Faithful Majesty; and therefore, as a fresh insult to Her said Majesty, this Council protest against your Excellency for the right of Her Majesty, outraged by your Excellency, and for the right appertaining to the family of the deceased; insomuch as the head and hand belonging to the body of the deceased, and that to his family, your Excellency, by detaining in order to traffic with them, commits a robbery, thus participating in the crime of the assassin, who, after murdering Governor Amaral, robbed him of his head and hand. The Laws of the Celestial Empire in cases of the murder of Authorities point out a different course, which is not simply to pay life for life, and your Excellency, by invoking the Authority of the same Laws with which you did not comply, has only shown that you have violated them. Lastly, the answer of your Excellency as to the principal point of the present question does not satisfy this Council, and therefore they require of your Excellency, that you state most explicitly, whether you will deliver up the head and hand of the assassinated Governor as belonging to his body, or whether you really wish to negotiate with those precious remains? Your answer, affirmative or negative, the Council expect without delay.\n\nWith regard to the three Chinese detained here, who are not so unconnected with the present question as your Excellency pretends, as soon as the reasons for their detention cease to exist, and providing no crime be brought home to them, they will be, as has already been said, set at liberty, or, in the contrary case, delivered to their authorities to be tried and punished according to the Law.

In reply to the Despatch of the 20th day of the 8th moon, (14th October,) which I received as an answer, stating that at a proper time attention would be given to its contents, which are empty words without meaning; and requesting at the same time a reply to the Despatch of the 17th of the 8th moon (2d October,) I have now to make the following observation:\n\nThe Despatch says, that the three individuals are not imprisoned, but detained for the necessary inquiries. Now, is not the long period of two months sufficient for the conclusion of these enquiries? In these 7th and 8th moons, two depositions have already been taken of the Criminals who had been on two separate occasions apprehended, and copies of these depositions have been sent accompanied by Despatches; and there is no one who does not know, that this case is already settled. Are not those Depositions of the real aggressor and of an accomplice, then, sufficient documents? And is it still necessary to have recourse to witnesses and enquiries from individuals unconnected with the question?\n\nBesides, after the three individuals have been given up, they will have to continue in the exercise of their duties at the Barrier Gate, and consequently will not be concealed. This is all I have to communicate in reply to the Despatch of the Council of the Portuguese Government.\n\nTaoukwang, 29th year, 9th moon, 17th day. (1st November, 1849)\n\nThe Council of Government of the Province of Macao, Timor, and Solor, to Seu, Viceroy of Canton, Imperial Commissioner, &c., &c.\n\nMOST EXCELLENT SIR,-If this Council required still more proofs to uphold the truth and justice of the assertion which they put forth in the commencement of their Despatch to your Excellency, of the 3d October, these would be afforded by the two last Despatches from your Excellency, dated the 14th ultimo and 1st instant, from which it is seen clearly and evidently, that, far from satisfying, as it behoved the dignity of the Government which your Excellency represents, the just demands of this Council, by replying to the principal point of the question, with which we are now occupied, and which relates solely to the restitution of the mutilated members of the illustrious deceased Governor, your Excellency does not indeed even allude to it in your Despatches; and in order to avoid speaking upon that matter, has recourse to your customary tergiversations,--such as that of saying that the three individuals here detained are unconnected with the question, that the case is already settled, &c.; all of which manifest the little weight your Excellency attaches to this case, which from its gravity has amazed all nations who have witnessed it, and which indeed should have deserved the most serious attention of the Chinese Government, if it had wished to escape the stigma of barbarity and treachery, a stigma which the Nations of the West will, with just reason, now attach to it.\n\nThis Council cannot therefore fail to condemn again in unequivocal terms the repeated acts of injustice and the violation of the most sacred rights of nations committed by your Excellency since the horrible assassination which took place on the 22d August. And in the presence of these, can there still be any hesitation in maintaining that the responsibility of that outrage rests wholly upon the Chinese authorities of Canton?\n\nYour Excellency says that during the period of two moons two trials were concluded. And what is there in this to be wondered at? Do not all those who have read your Excellency's Despatches know the mode in which those trials were conducted? Have not all seen that scarcely three days intervened between the apprehension and execution of Sen-chi-leong? By this way of administering justice, one should rather consider the period of two moons a very long one for the two trials, which your Excellency boasts of having despatched in that space of time, inasmuch as six days would have been sufficient: but it remains to be seen whether a similar proceeding in trials is authorized by the Law. And does your Excellency then wish that such subtleties and artifices, as revolting as they are iniquitous and infamous, should be a sufficient satisfaction for such an enormous and atrocious outrage?\n\nIt is certain that at the time the murder was committed, the post at the Barrier Gate was not abandoned, nor does it appear that the one at Mongha had been at that time vacated; it is also certain, and your Excellency has just confirmed the fact by the confession of Ko-Ahong, that the murderers passed freely through the Barrier Gate. That the officers entrusted with those posts are the ones answerable, and through them the Government of Canton, needs no demonstration: however, it does not appear that they were even called to account; indeed, on the contrary, an anxious solicitude is only observable for the delivery of the three individuals belonging to the post at the Barrier Gate, to which release so much importance has been attached, that in order to obtain it, your Excellency has not scrupled to employ nefarious and iniquitous means, such as that of the exchange proposed by you.\n\nIt is true, as your Excellency told us, that Sen-chi-leong was apprehended and executed; but what certainty is there that he was the real murderer, and not merely a supposititious criminal? Besides, it is already proved that the assassins who attacked the late Governor were seven in number, and although it has been already demonstrated by the numerous wounds which were found in the corpse, that it was impossible for one man alone to put it in the pitiable state in which it was found, all mutilated, as the Tsotang himself saw, nevertheless your Excellency pertinaciously insists upon representing that unfortunate man as the only perpetrator of the crime, and the others who were with him as mere spectators of that infernal deed, in the presence too of facts to the contrary which have been already legally confirmed!\n\nIn the confession of Sen-chi-leong, not the slightest allusion is made to his accomplices; this miserable wretch is there represented as the only criminal; and a month and a half after his execution, two more accomplices are discovered in a most singular way,-one of whom died in the act of being captured, and the other, though severely wounded, still lived to make a confession, different in many essential points from the first, and which those who will reflect a little will easily discover to have been dictated alone by the necessity—which, in the judgment of the person who dictated the first, existed—of justifying the sentence of Sen-chi-leong, as the only murderer of the Most Excellent Governor Amaral; as it is not difficult to discern the anxiety with which the criminal Ko-Ahong was made to say, that Sen-chi-leong alone was he who presented himself to His Excellency, spoke to him, attacked him, and, throwing him from his horse, cut off his head and hand, being hardly assisted by those who were with him, in the flight which he effected conjointly with them through the Barrier Gate. It escaped however the penetration of the writer of this confession that it had already been stated in the commencement thereof, that the two men Ko-Ahong and Li-Apdo had been chosen to carry out the design.\n\nThe very palpable difference that exists between the two confessions is also worthy of remark, namely, that whilst in that of Sen-chi-leong the most studied silence is maintained about his accomplices, speaking of no one but himself, in that of Ko-Ahong, this man occupies himself almost exclusively with Sen-chi-leong and his companions. It is also to be observed that the names of sundry others having been mentioned in this last confession, that of one Kam-Tong, whom the public voice affirms to have been one of the principals, if not the principal himself in that atrocious and barbarous crime, is not introduced. And is it your Excellency's desire that with these and similar fictions and subtleties, all deceitful and unworthy even of a man, much more of a public functionary, the Portuguese Government should declare itself satisfied, regarding the case as already settled, and all the enquiries respecting it as concluded? If this is your Excellency's belief, you will have to acknowledge some time hence that you were greatly deceived.\n\nAs to the justice of the demand which this Council made to your Excellency in their Despatch of the 3d ultimo, it was a very simple one. They merely required that your Excellency should tell them, without circumlocutions, whether you would deliver them the head and hand of the deceased Governor, or whether you wished to traffic with these precious remains; nevertheless, your Excellency has not, up to this date, satisfied so simple a requisition, continuing to keep possession of those mutilated members, as a property of your own, no doubt because you are conscious of having acquired them by means which, in your Excellency's judgment, give you a right of disposing of them as may seem good to you, regardless of constituting yourself by this act a participator in the crime which gave you the possession of them.\n\nThis Council have already endeavoured to shew your Excellency the iniquity of the infamous traffic which you proposed to them, and the necessity of the head and hand being restored to them without any condition or clause whatsoever, which this Council cannot, because they ought not to, admit. They have already, in short, caused your Excellency to see, that such an inhuman and unheard-of act, committed towards the person of the Representative of Her Most Faithful Majesty, amounts to an atrocious offence against the Sovereignty of Her Majesty, and an outrage to the Nation, to whom is due entire and condign reparation. In the face, therefore, of the extraordinary proceedings of your Excellency, and of your tenacious persistence in remaining deaf to the voice of reason and justice; and, as this Council have already informed Her Majesty's Government of all that has taken place, nothing more is left them to do on the subject, but to protest again against your Excellency, holding you responsible for the assassination of the Most Excellent Governor Amaral; for the retention of his head and hand; for the violation of the rights of Her Majesty and the Portuguese Nation; and lastly, for all consequences whatsoever that may result, as well from that act, as from the unqualified proceedings of the Chinese authorities of Canton with regard to it. And, as it is requisite that full knowledge be had of all the circumstances of this unheard-of case, this Council are going to make them known to the Representatives of all Foreign Nations resident here, as well as to the Governments of all other friendly Powers allies of Her Majesty, by means of a Manifesto, of which a copy will also be forwarded to your Excellency.\n\nIn conclusion, this Council trust that after this reply of theirs, the meaning of the words of their last Despatch which your Excellency was pleased to call empty ones, will be sufficiently explained.\n\nMacao, 7th November, 1849.\n\nJERONIMO, Bishop of Macao.-JOAQUIM ANTONIO DE MORAES CARNEIRO.-LUDGERO JOAQUIM DE FARIA NEVES.-MIGUEL PEREIRA SIMÕES.-JOZE BERNARDO GOULARTE.-MANOEL PEREIRA.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 229472, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12]", "page_number": 423, "title": "CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12]", "content_text": "Dool Council\n\nThes\n\nall I have to answer to is all\n\nthe Council of the Portuguese Governments.\n\n10th\n\nmoon,\n\n9th day.

To investigate carefully the origin of the atrocious and brutal outrage from which the barbarous assassination of the first authority of the Province resulted; to discover the authors and the principal actors of that diabolical conspiracy; and to detect the perpetrators and accomplices of that abominable crime; in conclusion, to promote, by all means within their reach, the exact and perfect knowledge of all the circumstances of this deplorable event, which placed in their hands the reins of the Government,-were the cares with which the Council forthwith occupied themselves, from the first moment they shared the management of the public affairs of the Province, on the night of the 22d August last.\n\nThe crime having been committed by Chinese subjects, who, after perpetrating it, took refuge within the territory belonging to the Dominions of their Government, as was immediately known by the testimony of the Aide-de-Camp who was in company with the Governor, and who was also attacked, thrown off his horse, and wounded on the same occasion; all the measures to be employed by this Council were limited to demands addressed to the Chinese authorities, who, however, far from assisting, as it behooved them, the efforts of the Portuguese Government, appear to have desired nothing more than to interpose difficulties and obstacles, which might completely frustrate and impede the exact knowledge of the truth.\n\nThe public have already seen that this Council have not ceased to call the attention of those authorities to the fulfilment of that which outraged Justice, infringed Laws, and violated Rights, demanded of them; but they, obstinately persisting in refusing the satisfaction on every ground due to the just demands of this Council, continue in their stubborn and inexplicable determination of shutting their ears to the voice of Reason and Justice.\n\nIf the circumstances which preceded the horrible murder authorized the strong presumptions at first entertained, of its having been, if not authorized, at least encouraged by the Chinese authorities, those which followed have certainly abundantly justified such presumptions; and the subsequent conduct of these authorities has raised those presumptions to such a height, that they cannot but be accepted as proofs of their complicity in the atrocious crime, the responsibility of which, far from attempting to remove by the efforts they should have employed to throw it off themselves, they have progressively aggravated to such a point that at present the whole of it attaches to them exclusively.\n\nAll the measures, therefore, which it behoved them to take for the purpose of bringing the Chinese authorities to reason, having been frustrated, and all the means which they could avail themselves of having been exhausted, nothing else was left to the Council but to protest, as they in effect did, against the Viceroy of Canton, and to place to his charge all the responsibility that attaches to him from that event, leaving intact the right of Her Most Faithful Majesty to demand the satisfaction which is due to Her Sovereignty, atrociously violated and outraged in the person of Her Representative at Macao.\n\nStill, however, it remained obligatory on this Council to make manifest all the odious proceedings of the Chinese authorities in relation to that deplorable event, for the purpose of establishing clearly and evidently their responsibility, and to make known the bad faith which, from the commencement, has characterized their conduct: inasmuch as, although the offence, which results from their acts, is more directly offered to the Sovereignty of Her Most Faithful Majesty, on account of the outrage having been committed on the person of Her immediate Representative in China, it is nevertheless of such a nature that, being against the Law of Nations, it cannot fail to injure the interests not only of those countries which have relations with this empire, and which are represented therein, but also of all those which enjoy the benefits of civilization. The rights infringed are of immutable reason, and the cause outraged that of all mankind, in which all the civilized nations of the world are directly interested. It is, therefore, in fulfilment of this obligation that the Council of Government of the Province of Macao, Timor, and Solor publish the present Manifesto, in which it is their intention to offer to the consideration of the Representatives of the Foreign Powers in China-of the Governments of all friendly Nations allies of Her Most Faithful Majesty, and to that of the whole civilized world, a plain and faithful exposition of all that has taken place since the tragical event of the 22d August last, as well as to lay before them all the acts committed by the Chinese Government of Canton, in order that all may know and duly appreciate the conduct of this Government in relation to that act, and the responsibility which in consequence attaches to it.\n\nThe first news of this melancholy event had hardly reached the city, when, even amidst the general consternation which it spread among its inhabitants, the public voice was already unanimous in accusing the Chinese authorities of having connived at this horrible outrage. And, indeed, all the circumstances which attended it authorized that opinion, which subsequent proceedings have abundantly shown to be sufficiently well founded.\n\nSeven Chinese in disguise attack the person of the Governor of Macao in full daylight, in the middle of a public road, in sight of and at a short distance from a Barrier guarded by Chinese soldiers, and throwing him from the horse on which he is mounted to the ground, stab him most cruelly, cut off his head and one hand, and, carrying with them these mutilated members still palpitating, pass safe and sound through that same Barrier, where they do not meet with the least hinderance, and go to take refuge within the territory belonging to the Dominions of their own Government, in spite of the restrictions of the Chinese laws themselves regarding the passage of Barriers, according to which it is evident that the assassins must have been furnished with a permit which would secure to them a free passage, not only through the Barrier Gate, but also through all the stations and posts which extend from thence to Shon-thal, through the whole of which they effectively passed unmolested. Such boldness can hardly be supposed in guilty persons, nor does so much audacity characterize the minds of vile assassins. The safety only of impunity, and the certainty of support and protection, can afford a clue to such an event, otherwise inexplicable. Besides this, a few months previous, incendiary placards had been publicly affixed, under the eyes of the Viceroy Seu, in the capital of his own Province, offering rewards for the head of the Governor of Macao, without the Chinese authorities taking any measures whatever to check similar excesses, and this at the very time that the Viceroy himself, in defiance of the express stipulations of the last Treaties, obstinately refused to recognize the Consul of Her Most Faithful Majesty at Canton, and was opposing serious impediments to the lawful commerce of Portuguese subjects at that Port. These facts, therefore, at once made it evident that if the Chinese authorities did not authorize, they at least countenanced, the assassination of Governor Amaral, and this Council so declared in the Protest which they addressed to the Viceroy of Canton on the 23d of August, (Doc. A, 3 in 84) and still more explicitly in their Despatch of the 31st of the same month (Doc. C, 4 in 90) in reply to that of the Viceroy of the 27th (Doc. B, 390) in which he not only had the indecency to omit, with studied care, the most remote expression of regret on the occasion of this disastrous occurrence, which all generally lamented, but was even so senseless as therein to demonstrate unequivocally his own animosity towards the person of the deceased, scarcely disguised by the affected surprise with which he pretended to have received the news.\n\nBut these are not the only facts which justify these conclusions against the Chinese authorities; others still more significant, and which have only latterly manifested themselves, constitute the most irrefutable proofs of their participation and complicity in the event. Such are, the foregoing...\n\nNote.

Ainda assim ficava a este Conselho a obrigação de fazer patente todo o procedimento odioso das Autoridades Chinesas, em relação àquele deplorável acontecimento, a fim de estabelecer clara e evidentemente a sua responsabilidade, e fazer ver a má fé, que desde o princípio tem caracterizado sua conduta; porquanto, posto que a ofensa, que dos seus atos resulta, seja mais diretamente dirigida à Soberania de S. Majestade Fidelíssima, por haver sido o atentado cometido na Pessoa do seu imediato Representante na China; ela é com tudo da natureza daquelas, que, por atentatórias do Direito Público das Gentes, não podem deixar de ferir também os interesses não só das Nações que têm relações neste Império, e que são nele representadas, mas os de todas as mais que gozam do benefício da civilização.\n\nOs princípios ofendidos são de eterna razão, e a causa ultrajada, a da humanidade inteira, na qual em geral são diretamente interessadas todas as Nações civilizadas do Mundo inteiro. E pois em desempenho daquela obrigação que o Conselho do Governo da Província de Macao, Timor, e Solor vem hoje publicar o presente Manifesto, com o qual é seu intento oferecer à consideração dos Representantes das Potências estrangeiras na China,—dos Governos de todas as Nações Amigas e aliadas de S.

Amaral abrio estradas fora das portas do campo de Santo Antonio, revolveo, e arrasou as sepulturas, que junto ao caminho estavam. Amaral em vida mandou affixar numeros europeus em todas as lojas em Macao, e exigio taxas.\n\nTambem exigio dinheiro de cada embarcação, e o gastou; e aquelles que lhe não annuiam á exigencia, mandava-os logo prender, e depois de accoitados, mandava-os conduzir para a cadeia.

Que elle declarante vendo que seis sepulturas dos seus antepassados foram todas destruidas e arrasadas por Amaral, para fazer a estrada, tomou a resolução de, em occasião opportuna, assassinar o Amaral para desarraigar o mal. Que aos 5 da 7a. Lua, então, ouvindo elle dizer aos mesmos portuguezes de Macao, que Amaral havia de sahir de tarde ao passeio a cavallo, sem levar muita gente, elle declarante fez espera no caminho, e pela volta das 6 horas, quando Amaral passou a cavallo, vendo que à occasião era favoravel, deitou-o do cavallo a baixo, e com a espada curta (taifó) que trazia escondida, lhe cortou a cabeça e mão, e levou-as a sacrificar aos manes dos seus antepassados, e depois fugio immediatamente; e como depois ouvisse dizer, que se estavam fazendo diligencias para prender o assassino, elle se foi occultar; mas a final pôde ficar preso pelos meirinhos e soldados.

Que se elle assassinou o Amaral foi por este ter destruido as suas sepulturas, e por nenhum \n\n(a) Campo das Amoreiras,\n\nmotivo mais; e por tanto pedia se lhe fizesse a graça; asseverando que tudo o que disse era verdade.-Tradusida por mim abaixo assignado.

Exa. lhe escreveo em data de 16, participando-lhe que tinha sido preso, pelo Mandarim de Shon-Tac, um assassino do Exmo. Governador João Maria Ferreira do Amaral, e descobertas em Sam-Tin, aldea do mesmo lugar, a cabeça e a mão do Illustre Finado, que V. Exa. remettia nessa mesma occasião por um Commissario, encarregado de as entregar a este Conselho; e bem assim que, tendo V. Exa. inquirido pessoalmente a esse criminoso, cuja confissão veio remettida, por copia não authentica, com o dito Officio, V. Exa. o mandara justiçar, e ordenara, que a sua cabeça fosse entregue ao mesmo Commissario para ser trazida a Macao, e exposta no mesmo lugar em que foi commettido o crime, para escarmento dos outros.\n\nEste Conselho havia reservado responder ao sobredito Officio de V. Exa. para depois que tivesse recebido a cabeça e a mão do Illustre Governador, mas não se tendo até esta data verificado a sua entrega, o que é summamente estranhavel depois de V. Exa. haver dito positivamente que havia feito a remessa no dia 16, o Conselho julga não dever differir por mais tempo esta resposta, muito principalmente por que lhe incumbe nesta mesma occasião repellir o modo insolito por que V. Exa. achou conveniente tratar este negocio, e protestar contra o novo insulto, que no referido Officio foi dirigido ao Governo Portuguez, como melhor se verá no desenvolvimento desta resposta.\n\nEm primeiro lugar cumpre a este Conselho insistir de modo o mais positivo na prompta entrega da cabeça e mão do Finado Governador; cuja retenção não pode já mais justificar-se depois da declaração official por V. Exa. feita no seu supradito Officio, á vista da qual é de certo muito para estranhar, por extraordinaria e inconsequente, a demora que tem havido.\n\nQuanto ao procedimento havido para com esse infeliz denominado Sen-Chi-Leong, que se diz, declarara ser o proprio assassino, ninguem o deve lamentar mais do que V Exa. mesmo; por quanto, não havendo elle sido legal, antes em opposição a todas as leis e praticas observadas em todos os paizes civilisados, sem exceptuar o mesmo Imperio da China, onde o processo em casos taes seguem mui differentes tramites, e que neste foram evidentemente atropelados, o desvio que no presente caso houve tende muito a aggravar a posição das Authoridades Chinezas em relação a elle.\n\nPor qualquer lado que se olhe o procedimento havido para com aquelle desgraçado, se ha de forçosamente notar uma precipitação, que revela um demasiado empenho, da parte de quem tão summariamente o condemnou, em o fazer desapparecer da scena, onde elle tinha \n\nde\n\nÉ publico e notorio, que o attentado do dia 22 d'Agosto foi com-", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 229489, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12]", "page_number": 440, "title": "CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12]", "content_text": "434\n\nla Sa.

Exa. em vista do Officio de V. Eza, de 16 do corrente, e por isso elle se appressa em o levar ao conhecimento de V. Exa., esperando que se não retardará a justa reparação daquelle inqualiscavel insulto, ou do contrario ficará este Conselho entendendo que o tem tambem de pôr a cargo de V Exa., protestando desde já contra elle, para deixar a Sua Magestade A Rainha de Portugal, a cujo conhecimento já elle levou este facto, o direito salvo de pedir em tempo competente a devida satisfação; fazendo-o tambem constar aos Representantes das Potencias estrangeiras na China.

SIU VICE-REI DE CANTAO QUAN-SY etc.\n\n(S)-Respondendo ao Officio do nobre Conselho de 12 da 8a. Lua (28 de Septembro) em que dizia, que depois de ter indicado o dia 1 da Lua as 5 horas da manhã para o recebimento da cabeça e mão na Porta do Cerco quizeram depois ( os Mandarins) que fossem primeiramente entregues os tres homens, para depois se entregar a cabeça, isto cauzou transtorno ect: sou por tanto a dizer que sendo a cabeça e mão objecto de grande apreço para os Portuguezes, como o é para elles de grande aversão o aggressor; por isso mesmo que a China deo todos os passos, e tratou este caso com toda a individuação, e ainda continua a da-los, mandando proseguir na estricta indagação e aprehenção dos outros cumplices, o que se pode dizer, que houve aqui humanidade e muita justiça. Ve-se porem que os tres Chinas que estão em Macao, e que nada tem com esta questão, não foram ainda entregues. Qual é pois o motivo? Se se diz, que no Officio de 30 da 7a. Lua não se tem anticipado sobre a sua entrega, elle bem claro dizia que se entregara a cabeça e mão, e que os tres goldados, que ainda estão em Macao, fossem tambem devolvidos para o seu posto.--Porque é que se tem deixado de responder sobre isto? Porquanto agora o transtorno por quem foi cauzado? Houve assassinio houve tambem satisfação, que é pagar a vida com vida. Querer-se ainda mais satisfação é muito fóra de rasão.

Exa, de 28 e 30 de Septembro aos Officios deste Conselho de 25 e 27 do mesmo mez, das quaes se vê evidentemente, que V. Exa, simulando não entender as solidas e convincentes rasões em que são baseadas as justas exigencias deste Conselho, se empenha por fugir da questão principal, evitando uma resposta explicita e cathegorica. Este Conselho muito positivamente declara a V. Exa. que se V. Exa pensa fazer da cabeça e mão do assassinado Governador objecto de escarnbo ou troca, para com elle comprar o livramento dos tres chinas detidos, e não presos, para indagações, e que depois de findas estas serão postos em liberdade; os Portuguezes e todas as mais nações civilisadas do mundo olham isto como um trafico iniquo e nefando, que denuncia, quando menos, a complacencia de V. Exa. no assassinio do Governador de Macao, Representante de Sua Magestade Fidellissima; e por tanto, como um novo insulto á Mesma Magestade, este Conselho protesta contra V. Exa, pelo Direito de Sua Magestade por V. Exa. ultrajado, e pelo direito da familia do morto; porquanto, sendo aquella cabeça e mão pertencentes ao corpo do fallecido, e este á sua familia. V. Exa. retendo-as para negociar com ellas commette um\" roubo, participando assim do crime do assassino, que mattando o Governador Amaral, lhe roubou a cabeça e mão. As Leis do Imperio Celestial em casos de assassinio de Authoridades marcam outro procedimento, que não é simplesmente pagar vida com vida, e V. Exa invocando o nome das mesmas Leis, que não cumprio, não fez mais do que mostrar que as tinha violado.\n\nFinalmente a resposta de V. Exa. quanto ao ponto principal da presente quistão não satisfaz a este Conselho, e portanto elle requer de V. Exa que diga muito explicitamente, se entrega ou não a cabeça e mão do assassinado como pertencentes ao seu corpo; ou se quer com effeito negociar com aquelles preciosos restos. A sua resposta affirmativa ou negativa espera este Conselho com brevidade. Quanto aos tres chinas detidos, os quaes não são tão estranhos á presente questão, como V. Exa. pertende, logo que cesser os motivos da sua detenção, e se não se achar nelles crime, serão, como já se disse, postos em liberdade, ou do contrario serão entregues ás suas Authoridades, para serem julgados e punidos conforme a Lei.

Em consequencia escolheram-se logo, ás escondidas, soldados habeis e com elles foi persegui-los até a villa de La Chang na Cidade de Xan Chou; (a) onde o guia indicou uma embarcação pequena dizendo ser dos cumplices em questão, e que estavam realmente nella um chamado Ko-Ahon, e outro Li-Apao. A vista disto cahiram os soldados sobre a dita embarcação, e como della mostrassem resistencia fazendo fogo, os soldados o fizeram tambem sobre elles; de que resultou cahir ferido no mar o Li-Apao e morreu affogado. E tendo andado os soldados em busca do corpo não o puderam encontrar. O Ko-Ahon foi apanhado e levado para Cantão para ser examinado; e como se achava gravemente ferido com arma cortante, foi mandado curar-se.

Que o Governador Portuguez Amaral, em vida tinha obrado crueldades; que fóra das portas do campo tinha aberto estradas, destruindo e arrasando sepulturas; pelo que tanto os de dentro, como os de fóra lhe conceberam odio. Que Amaral destruio não só as sepulturas pertencentes ao declarante; mas tambem as de Sen-Chi-Leong e Li-Apao. Por essa rasão intentaram elles assassinar o Amaral, para satisfazerem o seu odio. Em consequencia fizeram a consulta, e elle declarante, e Li-Apao foram apontados para executores do plano; Sen-Chi-Leong, os dois por appellido Chou, e um por appellido Cheu, que elles puderam aggregar, para os coadjuvarem em fazer barreira (aos que quizessem accudir). Que aos 5a. da 7a. Lua tendo elles ouvido dizer fisicamente, que Amaral sahiria ao passeio á Porta do Cerco, foram lá fazer espera. Pela tarde tendo o Amaral passado por ali a cavallo, Sen-Chi-Leong trazendo na mão um chapeo de chuva fechado em que tinha escondida no cabo uma espada afiada, appresentando-se disfarçadamente como quem queria fazer queixa, dizendo em alta voz, que representava contra injustiças; e no momento que o Amaral estendia a mão para receber o requerimento, Sen-Chi-Leong puxou logo pela espada, e lhe foi dando cutiladas no braço, até que com dores veio do cavallo abaixo, e o dito Sen-Chi-Leong lhe cortou logo a cabeça, e conjuntamente com o declarante e outros, safou-se pela Porta do Cerco, e depois de ter feito libações aos manes dos seus antepassados, se dispersaram, seguindo cada qual o seu caminho. Que ouvindo depois, que andavam em diligencias para prender os assassinos, elle declarante e Li-Apao consultaram em tomar uma embarcação, e fugir para Hu-Nan. Ali então foram inesperadamente perseguidos pelo guia e soldados, até a villa de Lochang, onde Li-Apao na occasião que elles estavam fazendo resistencia aos soldados, que iam sobre a embarcação, ficou ferido de um tiro, e cahio ao mar, onde morreu afogado; e elle declarante, que estava tambem defendendo-se com espada contra os soldados, que iam saltar na embarcação, foi gravemente ferido, e foi preso e conduzido.

Ora, decurso de dois mezes não é ainda tempo sufficiente para concluir essas averiguações? Quando n'estas 7a. e 8a. Luas já se tem tomado dois depoimentos dos réos, que por duas vezes tinham sido aprehendidos, e destes depoimentos se remetteram copias acompanhadas de Officios; e ninguem ha que não saiba, que este caso já está tratado. Estes depoimentos do verdadeiro aggressor, e d'outro cumplice não são pois, sufficientes documentos, e ainda é preciso recorrer á testemunhas e averiguações de individuos alheios da questão? Quanto mais que, depois de serem entregues os tres individuos, terão elles de continuar no exercicio do seu emprego na Porta do Cerco, e não hão de, por conseguinte, estar escondidos.

In view of this fact, two alternatives alone present themselves. The first is to prohibit Chinese emigration in toto, in order to avoid the crimes of which the brokers may be guilty. The second alternative is to put forth a new code of regulations for emigration, simple but clear, and conceived in such manner as to provide a base upon which energetic and efficacious measures may be founded, that shall tend to check abuses and to counterbalance the influence of the brokers, and shall be capable of inducing the brokers to be more honest for their own sake.\n\n33.-The first alternative is easy of execution, but Y. E. will see clearly that such a prohibition signifies a violation of a natural right, the right of emigration. Such an extreme measure might perhaps justify itself by the impossibility of repressing the abuses of emigration, were this impossibility brought to demonstration, after every experiment not yet attempted had been tried. Above all, it being recognized as a positive fact that there exists in China a superabundance of labourers and a deficiency of employment, and such action tending to diminish the means of obtaining subsistence for a multitude of persons, it would be unjust and even absurd to prevent such persons, whom their own country cannot maintain, from being transported to other countries where labour abounds, where an assured and decent maintenance is offered to them, and where they are promised the protection of civilized and Catholic Governments who will not fail to watch over the well-being and the liberty of immigrants.\n\n34.-The other alternative is in the present case the only one that can be recommended. It appears to me, however, that the basis of any new regulation whatsoever should be the creation of a house or of a special establishment under the direction of the Government, as has already been said, where the emigrants should be collected after registration, where they might enjoy full liberty for reflection without either physical or moral coercion, before signing the contract, where they might be entirely free from the influence of the brokers, where they might acquire confidence in themselves and in the Government that protects them, where they may disclose without reserve any frauds whatsoever of which they may perchance have been the victims, and where at length one may succeed in getting at the truth from the Chinese by giving them every guarantee for freedom and security.\n\n35.-When such precautions shall have been accompanied by the most rigorous repressive enactments, when brokers guilty of criminal acts shall be prosecuted without mercy, not alone at Macao but in their own country through the medium of the Chinese authorities, when an unremitting vigilance shall grant immunity to no offence whatever on the part of the brokers, - then the brokers themselves, perceiving that their illicit machinations cannot prove successful, that their falsehoods are unmasked and that their interests, far from being advanced by illicit measures, are on the contrary prejudiced thereby...\n\n36.-Not to protract this Report to too great a length, I will not at present descend to the details relative to the best method of administering the emigration of Chinese from Macao, but I shall have the honour of submitting them to Y. E.'s consideration at a more convenient opportunity. In the meantime, however, I deem it my duty to call Y. E.'s attention to some clauses in the contract into which the Chinese emigrant is accustomed to enter with the agent who engages him.\n\n37.-This document, as is obvious, is the basis of emigration of hired labourers, and I consequently am of opinion that of all that I have said with respect to emigration there is nothing that deserves the attention of Government in a higher degree than the contract. It is the guarantee of the emigrant's future, and the source whence the emigrant hopes that amelioration in his condition will accrue, the attraction that leads him to make the sacrifice of quitting his family and his native land.\n\n38.-As this contract has to be legalized here by the local authorities, it is incontestable, therefore, that the Government has the right of exercising vigilance to ensure that the compact be expressed within the limits of justice and equity.\n\n39.-In the contract of the emigrants who proceed to Havana there exists a clause, in which it is said that after the expiry of the eight years for which it endures, sixty days are allowed the emigrant for return to my country (China) at my own expense if this should suit me, or for the purpose of seeking an engagement with such a master as may be most useful to myself.\" Hence it follows that even after the expiry of the eight years the labourer is not at liberty to devote himself to any occupation that may suit his wishes except under the guardianship of a master. From this Y. E. will see how desirable it is that the contract should be made more liberal, the agent renouncing this clause, a clause which, besides, does not exist in the contract of the emigrants who go to Peru.\n\n40.-As regards the return of the emigrants to China, it is impossible to hope, save in the rarest exceptional cases, that they will be in a position to defray for themselves the cost of passage, immediately after the expiry of the eight years. Whatever little savings they may perchance have made during this period out of their wages would not in the majority of cases be sufficient for the purpose.\n\n41.-In view of the fact that the principal object of this emigration is not so much colonization as the supply of labour, it appears to be just and equitable that the emigrants after having completed the term of their contract, and having laboured remote from their country and their relatives during eight long years, should have a free passage for their return to their homes if they wish it, to be paid by those who profit by their toil during so many years. If the contract could guarantee this advantage to the emigrants, Chinese emigration would assume a far more humane aspect, and many advantages would result therefrom to the agent himself, who would with greater ease find emigrants in increased numbers and of a better description. Many expedients might be named for obtaining this end, but I refrain from citing them in this place, as it may not possibly be opportune in the present Report.\n\n42.-I also deem it excessive to require 12 hours of labour per diem from the emigrants in a climate such as that of Havana and Peru, and, in accordance with the information in my possession, the coolies themselves do not, as a general rule in these countries, labour more than ten hours per diem, so that there would be no difficulty in modifying this clause for the greater security of the emigrants, expunging at the same time the exception inserted in the contract in the words \"saving always service within-doors in houses in the country.\"\n\n43. According to the contract, eight dollars ($8.00) are advanced to the emigrant under the head of outfit, immediately after the signature of the contract, on condition of their being subsequently deducted from his monthly wages at the port to which he is destined. This advance, I am of opinion, should be considered as a simple bonus, not to be deducted from the wages.\n\n44.-In the present Report I have limited myself solely to the consideration of two essential points, viz., the precautions necessary for ascertaining the spontaneous consent of the Emigrants, and the modification of the contract, as I am of opinion that nothing more would remain to be wished for if it could be ensured that all the Chinese who emigrate from Macao for any country whatsoever are voluntary emigrants making up their minds to emigrate free from all pressure of any description, and who go from hence protected by a just and reasonable contract.\n\n45.-Respectfully submitting to Your Excellency's consideration the reflections I have set forth above, I entreat Your Excellency's indulgence for the same, in consideration of the sincere intentions by which they are dictated.\n\n46.-Glad as I should feel to be able to continue in the discharge of the functions confided to me by Your Excellency, I am, nevertheless, forbidden to do so by my other obligations and my (commercial) affairs; and I am under the necessity of requesting that Your Excellency will be pleased to relieve me of the duties of Superintendent of Chinese Emigration.\n\n47.-May God protect Your Excellency, -Superintendency of Chinese Emigration, Macao, 4th April 1868.\n\nTo His Excellency Sr. José Maria da Ponte e Horta, Governor of Macao and Timor.\n\n(signed) \n**B.

Persons occupying themselves in engaging Chinese for emigration, and who are known by the name of Brokers, shall not be authorized to carry on this traffic without having obtained a license from the Procurador of the Loyal Senate.\n\n2. Brokers shall deposit a security of $200 before obtaining a license, which shall be granted for the period of one year.\n\n3. Whenever any Chinese shall have been engaged to emigrate by Brokers, they shall produce him at the office of the Procurador, where explanation shall be made to the Colonist or emigrant respecting the country to which he is going, the service for which he engages himself, and the conditions thereof, the regulations of the depôt in which he is to be received, and all other circumstances which the Procurador may deem necessary, to the end that the Colonist be thoroughly informed of the obligations he is about to contract.\n\n4. The Procurador shall visit from time to time the houses of the Brokers, and whenever he shall meet with any Chinese who has been imposed upon and is kept there against his will, he shall cause him to leave the place, and shall fine the Broker in the amount of $100. In case of repetition of the offence, the Broker's license shall be withdrawn.\n\n5. A like penalty to that provided in the foregoing article shall be incurred by every Broker, who does not produce before the Procurador any Colonist whom he may have engaged, within twenty-four hours of such engagement, if this has taken place in Macao, or, if it has taken place elsewhere, within twenty-four hours after the Colonist shall have entered the city.\n\n6. Brokers shall be bound to send away from the City all Colonists who are rejected by the Emigration Agents, or their representatives, and to pay their passage back to their homes. For every case of infringement of these provisions the Broker shall be mulcted in a fine of $30.\n\n7. Any Broker who shall resort to violence or coercion in order to cause any Chinese he may propose to export as a Colonist to enter his house or the depôts, shall be prosecuted in conformity with the existing laws, in addition to being mulcted in the fine imposed by Article IV.\n\nCONCERNING EMIGRATION AGENTS AND THEIR DEPOTS.\n\n8. The Emigration Agents, or the persons superintending the embarkation of the Colonists shall notify the Government respecting the locality in which they propose to deposit them, their number, the vessel or vessels in which they are to embark, the contracts made with them, and the place of their destination.\n\n9. A place shall be kept apart in the depôts for Colonists, in which the sick shall be cared for.\n\n10. The Surgeon Major of the Province, alone or accompanied by the practitioners constituting the Board of Health, shall inspect from time to time the localities occupied by the Colonists, and shall carefully inquire whether all the precautions required in the interests of public health are observed; he shall give such instructions as he may deem necessary in this respect both to the Emigration Agents to whom the depôts belong, and to the medical men in charge of the same; and he shall propose to the Government whatever measures he may deem necessary upon so important a subject, bearing in mind that he has to watch over not alone the public health, but also the good treatment and comfort of the Colonists.\n\n11. The medical practitioners appointed by the agents to take care of the Colonists in their depôts, and to inspect them, shall be bound to report to the Surgeon Major of the Province the method in which they discharge this service, as well as any circumstance which might endanger the public health, or that of the Colonists, and they shall further comply with all instructions they may receive from the Surgeon Major.\n\n12. The Emigration Agents shall send to the Government a copy of regulations established in their depôts.\n\n13. Contracts entered into between Chinese emigrating to foreign countries, and embarking at the Port of Macao, and Emigration Agents, shall be registered before the Procurador in the same manner as is provided in respect to all contracts between Chinese or Chinese and Christians. This registration shall be made in the presence of the parties interested and before two witnesses.\n\nSECTION 1.—Contracts must be drawn up in the Chinese, and in the language of the country to which the Colonists are destined.\n\nSECTION 2.—The contract must specify the name, sex, age, and native place of the Colonist.\n\nSECTION 3.—No Colonist will be permitted to engage himself unless he has reached the age of eighteen, or is accompanied by his father or mother.\n\nSECTION 4.—The contract shall set forth the period for which the engagement is to last, as also the amount of wages, food, and clothing that the Colonist is to receive,\n\n14. The Procurador shall, on the occasion of his visits to the depôts of Colonists ascertain with scrupulous care, whether any of them are there against their will, or under deception with respect to the destination of the vessel they are to embark upon. In case he shall meet with any individual who has been the subject of violence or fraud, he shall cause him at once to leave the depôt, and shall proceed against the Broker who has imposed upon him.\n\n15. A visit of the kind treated of in the preceding article shall always take place on the evening previous to embarkation, which shall not be accomplished without such visit, for which purpose the Agents shall give timely notice to the Procurador.\n\n16. Chinese who have entered into contracts before the Procurador, and have been fully informed of the place and service for which they are engaged, shall be under obligation to fulfil the same, or to compensate the Emigration Agents for the expenses to which they have been put, which they will be required to repay in case they repent of their engagement or for any other cause whatever wish not to proceed to their destination. The cost of their maintenance shall be repaid by them at the rate of 100 cash per diem.\n\n17. The provisions of the foregoing article shall not empower the Emigration Agent to keep the Colonists imprisoned in the depôts; they will be authorized in taking measures to obtain the deposit of caution-money, or other guarantees that may appear suitable for securing the expenses they incur, but never in detaining the persons of individuals.\n\n18. Emigration Agents shall be liable to a fine of from $50 to $300 for infringement of the preceding rules in so far as they are referred to therein.\n\nCONCERNING THE VESSELS ON WHICH COLONISTS ARE SHIPPED.\n\n19. No vessel shall leave Macao with Chinese Colonists unless she has first been inspected by the Captain of the Port.\n\n715", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-134 - Public Offices - 1868.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 276678, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-134 - Public Offices - 1868", "page_number": 734, "title": "CO129-134 - Public Offices - 1868", "content_text": "NEW REGULATIONS FOR THE COOLIE TRADE AT MACAO.\n\nART.

I.—Emigration Agents may obtain permission to open more than one establishment, on proof that they have an increased number of emigrants about to enter into contract with them.\n\n§ 1. It shall be lawful for the Government to fix the number of establishments allowed to each agent, in proportion to the number of emigrants he intends contracting with.\n\n§ 2. The establishments must fulfil the conditions as to space and ventilation that may be fixed upon, and, in addition, must provide separate lodgings for the women and families who also intend to emigrate.\n\n§ 3. The establishments shall pay such a sum by way of police-rate, as may be determined.\n\nART. II.—It shall not be permitted to collect emigrants in \"cun-taus\" * or in any non-licensed building by way of establishment.\n\n§ 1—On detection of any case of infraction of this article, all persons interested in the houses remain open and that the emigrants or licensed Emigration enjoy free egress between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.\n\n§ 1—Any police-constable reporting any infringement of the emigration regulations, on the same being proved, shall receive as reward the fourth part of the fine incurred by the offender.\n\n§ 2.—A like reward shall be paid to any citizen who shall give information of any infringement of the rules, immediately on the same being proved.\n\nART. X.—It shall be the duty of the Police and the Superintendent of Chinese Emigration to see that the doors of the Establishments...\n\nART. XI.—No corporal punishment of any description shall be inflicted upon the Emigrants within the establishments; and any emigrant guilty of an offence shall be forthwith handed over to the Procurature tribunal in conformity with the existing laws.\n\nPersons infringing the above prohibition shall be liable to a fine of from $50 to $200, and to the penalties provided in the Penal Code.\n\nART. XII.—Licensed brokers for Chinese emigration shall continue to receive their permits from the Procurature of Chinese Affairs, the process of security established by previous decrees being completed before issue of the license.\n\n—The caution-money for brokers is raised to the amount of $500.\n\nART. XIII.—The Emigration establishments shall keep suspended at the doors, and in all the rooms within copies, in perfectly legible characters of the contracts offered by the agents, respectively, to the emigrants.\n\nART. XIV.—Notice shall be given to the Superintendent as soon as the Emigration Agent has collected emigrants, having made up their minds to sign the contract, in numbers sufficient to complete the dispatch of the vessel in which it is intended to send them on.\n\nART. XV.—The Emigration Superintendency shall be established in a building of sufficient capacity to contain, during the period of four days, the entire number of emigrants to be despatched in each vessel...\n\nART. XVI.—Emigrants who are ready to embark, according to the notice given by the Agent, shall be taken to the Superintendency, where, in open Court, they shall be examined by the Superintendent, and the contract shall be read and explained to them, a printed copy of the contract being delivered to each individual.\n\nAt this transaction, in addition to the persons employed in the Superintendency, there shall be present the Procurador of Chinese Affairs, or his deputy, the interpreters of Chinese appointed for this...\n\nJ122\n\n724\n\nDI", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-134 - Public Offices - 1868.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 277080, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-135 - Public Offices & Others - 1868", "page_number": 380, "title": "CO129-135 - Public Offices & Others - 1868", "content_text": "8 - southon defeather\n\nI were unfound have\n\nExpressed their timer\n\nthat the offer made in the Kanagen other\n\nHhong Shanghal\n\nBanks\n\ncould\n\nnot\n\nhave been entertained,\n\nfor the reasons\n\nstated\n\nby you in your despatch\n\nof the 23 March and then Buchlich &\n\nFurthunthathing reg\n\nOfriction\n\nputher of poin\n\nWhat any\n\n+thing amarpant\n\nwould\n\n377\n\nelymath any\n\nwould hajutimalle arrangement which\n\nwould place the Cornag\n\nwi\n\nany of\n\n#mapolis porsenin\n\nundutture control\n\nof privat individual Commerical firms.\n\nor\n\nnot doubt\n\nthat before\n\nthe reipt\n\nWtheir depakt\n\nYou will have acted on the instructions\n\nin regard to the\n\nAfter re-examining the text and following the given instructions:\n\n8 - southon defeather\n\n should be corrected to a sensible proper noun or kept as is if it's a name or specific term, but \"southon defeather\" doesn't make sense.

From this point in Java, the second section, consisting of a Cable 1,163 miles in length, will be laid to Port Darwin in Australia touching at Timor. From Port Darwin to Burketown in Queensland, a distance of 800 miles, a Land Line will be constructed to connect this Company's Cable with the Telegraph system of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South and Western Australia, and Tasmania. Soundings have been taken along the whole route and are perfectly satisfactory. A Contract has been entered into with the **Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company** on the usual conditions of their Contracts for the manufacture and laying by the latter of the Cables required, and the construction of the Australian Land Line. The Contract includes Stations, Station Fittings and Instruments, and the Contractors are to transfer to the Company the steam ship \"Investigator,\" with her tanks and machinery as a maintenance ship.\n\nThe **Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company** also guarantee interest at the rate of ... per annum upon the paid-up capital of this Company, payable half-yearly until the date fixed for the opening of the entire Line.\n\nThe Contract price is £634,000, of which £120,000 is to be taken in fully paid shares—£20,000 on the shipment of the Cable, and £100,000 to be reserved until the Company's Engineer has certified that the Line has been completed in good working order. Upon this certificate £50,000 will be paid, and the remaining £50,000 will be retained until the Cables have continued in working order for 30 days.\n\nThe Cables and Land Line are to be complete in 1871.\n\nThis Company has acquired the right to purchase for £70,000, within one year after the Line to Burketown is completed, the Telegraph Cable recently laid, and now working between Melbourne and Tasmania and upon which the Tasmanian Government guarantee £4,200 per annum on the terms stated in the Contract with that Government, of which a copy may be seen at this Company's Office. The Land Lines in Java which are proposed to be used for this Company's traffic are in a very efficient state, and negotiations are in progress with the Dutch authorities for landing this Company's Cables at Java, and Timor, and for a tariff for messages passing over the local Dutch Lines. In the improbable event of the Dutch Government not granting the facilities asked for, it is intended to raise such additional Capital as may be requisite for establishing a direct Line to Australia, by Cable from Singapore to Port Darwin. The Contract with the **Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company** contains the necessary provisions for effecting these alterations of route.\n\nThe Cables for this Company are to be of a similar type to those of the **British-Indian Extension**, and **China Submarine Telegraph Companies**.\n\nThe Traffic arrangements entered into with the **Falmouth Gibraltar and Malta**, the **Anglo-Mediterranean**, the **British-Indian Submarine**, and the **British-Indian Extension Telegraph Companies**, provide that these Companies shall allow the same rebate upon their through rate on all messages forwarded over their Lines and this Company's Cables from or to the Dutch Possessions, Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand, as they have granted to the **China Submarine Telegraph Company**.\n\nThe rate which, on through Messages, will, according to the intended Tariff, belong to this Company, is £2 10s. per Message of twenty words between Australia and England, and £1 1s. between the Dutch Islands and this country.\n\nIt is calculated that twenty Messages each way may be expected daily from Java and the surrounding Dutch Islands, and sixty-five Messages each way, at the outset, from the Australian Colonies.\n\nThe annual revenue of the Line, reckoning each Message at thirty words (this being the average length on the **Anglo-Mediterranean** and other Lines), and assuming 330 working days may be estimated as follows:\n\n| Messages from and to | Number of Messages | Revenue |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Java, &c. | 20 × 330 = 6,600 | £1 1s. × 6,600 = £6,930 |\n| Australasia | 65 × 330 = 21,450 | £2 10s. × 21,450 = £53,625 |\n| Together | | £60,555 |\n| Deducting £15,000 Reserve Fund, and £45,000 for working expenses and maintenance | | £60,000 |\n| There remains an Annual Profit of | | £121,665 (error in original, actual calculation: £60,555 - £60,000 = £555, not £121,665) |\n\nBeing upwards of 18 per cent, upon the Capital, exclusive of Local and Chinese traffic.\n\nThe following is a copy of the Memorandum of Association:\n\n1. The name of the Company is \"**THE BRITISH AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAPH COMPANY LIMITED**\".\n\n2. The registered Office of the Company is to be in England.\n\n3. The objects for which the Company is established are:\nThe contracting for, constructing, acquiring, leasing, maintaining, dealing with, and working lines of Telegraph between the Straits of Malacca, Singapore, or the Malay Peninsula, and the Australian Continent, Tasmania, and New Zealand, and any places or points in or adjacent or near thereto respectively, or forming or intended to form part or parts of any telegraphic route or routes between those places, or any of them, and (as and when authorised by extraordinary meetings of the members) branches from and extensions of any of those lines to such countries or places as the Company think fit; the establishment of Telegraph stations, and, generally, carrying on the business of a Telegraph Company; the applying for, acquiring, selling, leasing, using, and disposing of such lands, Telegraph Lines, vessels, concessions, leases, privileges, licenses, and letters patent, and any shares or interest therein respectively, as may be useful or desirable for the purposes aforesaid, or any of them; the doing of all or any of those matters or things in conjunction with any other Company or person; the registration or constitution of the Company abroad as a Société Anonyme or otherwise; the subscribing for and acquiring shares of, or amalgamating with and sharing in the business or undertakings of any other Telegraph Company or Companies, and the making and carrying into effect of working traffic and other agreements with Governments, Railway, Steamboat, Postal, Telegraph, and other Companies and authorities, and the doing of all such other things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects.\n\n4.

That Section is as follows:--\n\n\"III. For the Purpose of bringing any Criminal Case under the Cognizance of the Supreme Court, an Information signed by the Attorney General or in certain Cases by the Colonial Secretary as hereinafter provided, shall be as valid and effectual in all Respects as an Indictment presented by a Grand Jury.\"\n\nI also addressed the following Letter to the Government:--\n\n**SIR,**\n\n**ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE,**\n\n**HONGKONG, 1st May, 1871.**\n\n\"I have the honor to address you once more in relation to the case of the Prisoner Kwok-A-SING, who was charged by the Chinese Authorities, and also by the French Government, with being one of the leading and most active participants in the seizure of the French ship La Nouvelle Penelope on the high seas, and in the Murder of her Captain and of Nine of her Crew under circumstances of extreme barbarity.\n\n\"The Chief Justice in his Judgment on the return of the Writ of Habeas Corpus granted by him for the purpose of testing the legality of the Prisoner's surrender to the Chinese Authorities, decided that the Crime charged, was, if anything, Piracy jure gentium, and therefore, justiciable in this Colony, but the principal ground upon which he discharged the Prisoner was that upon his view of the Depositions taken before the Magistrate no crime whatever had been committed.\n\n\"The consequence of that Judgment was that the Acting Consul of France whilst protesting against such a conclusion, withdrew the formal requisition for the surrender of the Prisoner to his Government, which he had addressed to His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, as a measure of precaution in the event of the Prisoner escaping through any technicality or difficulty which might be raised on the Chinese Extradition demand.\n\n\"The Government of Hongkong is already in possession of the Regulations now in force at Macao in relation to Chinese Emigration and I entertain no doubt whatever, that all the Emigrants shipped on board the Nouvelle Penelope were subjected to the formalities prescribed by the Law, and that they all declared before the Authorities of Macao their willingness to embark and to emigrate upon the conditions contained in the contracts which they signed.\n\n\"No Witnesses were called on behalf of the Prisoner nor was any attempt made to put forward any Defence on the merits; yet the Chief Justice held that evidence adduced in support of the Demand of the Chinese Government for the Extradition of the Prisoner, justified the conclusion that the Chinese Emigrants shipped on board the Nouvelle Penelope had been kidnapped by the Master of that Vessel; that they were forced on board against their will by armed Soldiers of the Macao Government; that in fact, they had been carried off as Slaves and therefore that the seizure and plunder of the Ship and the Murder of her Captain and Crew were, under the circumstances, justifiable acts.\n\n\"I cannot but feel that were this Government to permit the Prisoner, who beyond doubt took an active part in the slaughter of the unhappy victims of the Nouvelle Penelope, to go at large without a further Investigation, their inaction would entail a grave responsibility upon the Executive and would be a reproach to the administration of Justice in the Colony.\n\n\"I have, therefore, as you are aware, upon the discharge of the Prisoner from his custody under the French Extradition demand, caused him to be arrested once more on the charge of \"Piracy jure gentium.\"\n\n## Enclosure. 2.\n\nC (5)\n\n\"He will be tried for that crime before a jury at the next Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court unless the Chief Justice should in the meanwhile set him once more at liberty.\n\n“In view of the coming Trial I am desirous of suggesting to His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor the expediency of invoking the good offices of His Excellency the Governor of Macao for the purpose of procuring the attendance of Witnesses who can prove the Regulations of his Government as to Emigration and that the Coolies shipped on board the Nouvelle Penelope were all examined as to their willingness to embark and that they declared the same before the Authorities.\n\n\"This evidence would of course be superfluous under ordinary circumstances as the onus of proving that the homicide was justifiable, lies on the Prisoner; but the case is one of so grave and important a character, that it is extremely desirable to omit nothing which can throw any light upon it; and it is due both to the Governments of France and of Macao to bring out the true facts before the Public, and to dispel the conclusions formed by the Chief Justice on a perusal of hitherto incomplete evidence.\n\n\"I have the honor to be,\n\n\"To the Honorable JOHN GARDINER AUSTIN,\n\n“Colonial Secretary.”\n\n\"Sir,\n\n» Your obedient Servant,\n\n(Signed,)\n\n*JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE,*\n\nAttorney General,”\n\nThe substance of the above Letter was communicated to His Excellency the Governor of Macao, from whom the following reply was received:----\n\n**Govt. of Macao & Timor,**\n\n**No. 42.**\n\n**SIR,**\n\n(Translation.)\n\n\"I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of Your Excellency's Despatch of the 2nd Instant, No. 214, enclosing a letter from The Honorable J.

All the rest signified their determination to adhere to their Contracts. Some of the Emigrants of the Dolores Ugarte who have been examined here as to the causes of the burning of the Ship relate this very circumstance, and all admit that they signified to the Macao Authorities their desire to emigrate.\n\nI transmit herewith two numbers (18 & 19 of 1871) of the \"Boletim da Provincia de Macao e Timor,\" in which will be found Official Reports of the Government of Macao in relation to the Case of the Nouvelle Penelope, and also of the Dolores Ugarte. I likewise transmit a copy of a Contract exactly similar to those under which the Emigrants by the Nouvelle Penelope embarked.\n\nI am informed by the French Consul that a large reward is offered by the Vice-Roy of Canton for the apprehension of KWOK-A-SING, as well as for that of the Pirate Chief, KOW-KUNG-MAHN mentioned in the Extract from the evidence of the Witness CHUN-APEw, which is given above.\n\nKWOK-A-SING, however, speaks English pretty well, and we may naturally anticipate, after the Judgment of Chief Justice SMALE, that he and his accomplices will make Hongkong the centre of their operations and that this Colony will be looked upon by them as a safe refuge from Justice, after the perpetration of similar outrages.\n\nI earnestly hope, in common with the majority of persons, that the Coolie Trade may be abolished, but that it may be abolished by legitimate means. However respectable may be the aversion of the Chief Justice to it, and however praiseworthy his motives, it is manifest that to hold out Pirates and Murderers to public commendation is to give them every encouragement to commit the very \"atrocities\" which have affixed to the Coolie Trade so unenviable a notoriety.\n\nIn conclusion, I venture to urge His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor to submit to the consideration of the Secretary of State the expediency of an immediate application to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council for leave to appeal against both Judgments delivered by Chief Justice SMALE in the case of KWOK-A-SING; for those Judgments, apart from other considerations, deal with questions of grave constitutional and international importance, and unless I am greatly mistaken, establish erroneous and inconvenient Precedents in the Administration of Justice in the Colony.\n\nHongkong, 25th May, 1871.\n\n**JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE, Attorney General**\n\n## \nTo Wit\n\n### Enclosure to Attorney General's printed Report of 25th May 1871, upon the Case of Quok Asing\n\nTo The Captain Superintendent and all and each of the Constables of the Hong Kong Police Force,\n\nWhereas in pursuance of the Treaty entered into between Great Britain and France for the mutual surrender of Criminals, requisition has been made to me by Charles de La Forest, Vice Consul for France in this Colony, for the surrender of one \"Kwok A Sing...\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-150 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1871 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 284795, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-150 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1871 [5-6]", "page_number": 239, "title": "CO129-150 - Lieut Governor Whitfield - 1871 [5-6]", "content_text": "# IN RE KWOK ASING-JUDGMENT\n\n## Conenr.\n\nIt is a habeas corpus, by reason that Kwok-a-sing truth, the whole truth, authoritatively, and in England for such false imprisonment as stands committed for trial at the next Sessions before this Court for felony, plainly expressed on the warrant of commitment. Now these are mere suggestions in reference to any future consideration of this case, any such there may be. I know that this notice amounts to an admission by the prosecution that the charge of piracy in column No. 2 is a charge of felony equivalent to that set out in column No. 1. That is, that the charge on the second commitment is the same as the charge on the first commitment, but if that be so, then charge No. 2 is absolutely prohibited by section 6. The second ground for this cross motion is this. The Attorney-General contended that this information, the purport of which appears in No. 3 of the tabular statement, takes Kwok-a-sing out of the protection of sec. 6, and brings him within the provisions of sec. 7 of the Habeas Corpus Act. My opinion is that there are no words in sec. 7 that take away the protection of sec. 6. That sec. 7 takes up a subject essentially different from the subject matter of the enactments up to sec. 7. That 7th section confines itself to cases which proceeded without any writ of habeas corpus, and it provides for the then frequently occurring oppression of the subject by repeatedly postponing the trial of the person charged.\n\nThe atrocities of the coolie slave trade (unparalleled save possibly in the worst phases of the African slave trade), which have recently been brought to public cognizance, will arrest attention and excite horror wherever the English language is spoken - in the United States as much as throughout the British Empire - and I trust that as good springs out of evil generally, so here that the recent opinion and excited action of all Christendom induced by these atrocities, will establish such a police on the sea as to render all coerced emigration (inevitably tending to the slave trade) impossible. In conclusion, I would adapt what was said of negroes by Montesquieu, no democrat, no fanatic, but a nobleman, a judge, and a French philosopher: \"We cannot bring ourselves to believe that Chinese sea-borne coolie slaves are men - to do so would soon lead to our believing that we are not Christians.\"\n\nReferring to No. 3, the tabular statement before referred to, this information is identical in substance though not in precise words in charging the same offence (piratical and felonious being but different modes of designating the same bad act) as the charges in No. I and No. 2. The taking of the $10,000 and the apparel and the ten watches in Bell, Wyndham Street, Hongkong, is said to have occurred whilst out of the Macao roads, and whether any, these articles were in the custody and to have been taken against the will of the Captain and crew - that is, during their lives, that is between the first outbreak and their deaths on the 4th of October (a very short period) these takings were therefore part of the main felonious or piratical wreck. In respect of No. 1, I have already said that there was no legal ground of charge against the prisoner. On the present depositions, No. 2 still less can this prisoner be convicted, and I do not see how on such evidence the information No. 3 can be sustained in law, or how it is other than a charge to the same purport as No. 1 and No. 2, and on this information the prisoner is not a prisoner. \n\nThe Attorney-General having stated that officials from Macao purpose to come over, and to give evidence on the trial of this prisoner, I am on that account very much disappointed. The more thoroughly the whole history of the Nouvelle Penelope is ventilated the better for humanity. It will be lamentable if these officials cannot be examined and cross-examined in an open court. Macao would be as much upon its trial before the world as this poor miserable man Kwok-a-sing, who has been now ever since the 7th of February stretched on a rack of mental torture, compared with which the Chinese much abused ordinary physical tortures would be bearable.\n\nIn the course of the argument, the Attorney-General asked from the court an order of detainer against the prisoner on account of the existence of the information filed by him. He offered no precedent for such an act by the court, and I know of no authority on which I could justify compliance with his request upon this hearing of the application on this writ of habeas corpus. The prisoner is free, and effect must at the risk of a custody they are not guilty of the murder; being prisoners they have a right to regain their freedom by any means in their power. This is the law to be found in R. v. Serco and others, 1 Den. c. c. B. 104, which see also in Roscoe, cr. Evidence, 777, 778, and in 1 Russ. by Greaves 247, 249. Moreover, R. v. Lesley, Bell, c. c, 220, goes to this extent, that the fact that men legally imprisoned, and so legally put on board a ship in Chili, (Macao) does not render the continuance of that coercion in a British ship at sea legal, and the captain of a British ship was convicted and imprisoned.\n\n## Inclosure #1 in Attorney General's Printed Report of 25th May 1871\n\n### BOLETIM DA PROVINCIA DE MACAU E TIMOR\n\n#### PARTE OFFICIAL\n\n...\n\n## MINISTERIO DOS NEGOCIOS DA MARINHA E ULTRAMAR\n\n### DIRECÇÃO GERAL DO ULTRAMAR\n\n#### CIRCULAR\n\nN. 14\n\n...\n\n### QUARTEL GENERAL DO GOVERNO DA PROVINCIA DE MACAU E TIMOR\n\n#### ORDEM Á FORÇA ARMADA\n\nN. 13\n\n...\n\n### SECRETARIA D'ESTADO DOS NEGOCIOS DA MARINHA E ULTRAMAR\n\n#### DIRECÇÃO GERAL DO ULTRAMAR\n\n1.

The barracoons are all shut up, and the coolie-catchers' services are no longer required. By a Proclamation, of which the following is a translation, the noble Viscount San Januario struck the death blow, thus vindicating the Portuguese honour so horribly traduced by the infamous traders :-- \n\n**No. 89.** The Governor of the Province of Macao and Timor and its dependencies, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of His Most Faithful Majesty in China, Japan and Siam, etc., etc. \n\nIn obedience to the orders from His Majesty's Government, the following is enacted: \n\n\"The Chinese Emigration hitherto carried on in the port of Macau is henceforward prohibited. \n\nIn conformity with the provisions of Article 88 of the Emigration Regulations, this determination shall be complied with within three months after this date. \n\nLet the competent authorities take note and execute the present Proclamation. \n\n\"Government House, Macao, 27th Dec., 1873. \n\n\"VISCONDE DE S. JANUARIO, \"Governor of the Province, etc.\" \n\nFurther particulars I will let you know by-and-bye, and, in the meantime, allow me to congratulate you and the noble English press with the old motto—*finis coronat opus* Viva Viscount S. Januario !! \n\nNews of no slight importance reaches us from Macao. Viscount de San Januario has issued in the *Boletim do Governo* a proclamation totally prohibiting the coolie trade from that port on and after March 1874. The following is a translation of the text -- \n\n**No. 69.-**The Governor of the Province of Macao and Timor and its dependencies, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of His Most Faithful Majesty in China, Japan and Siam, etc., etc. \n\nIn obedience to the orders from His Majesty's Government, the following is enacted --- \n\n\"The Chinese Emigration hitherto carried on in the port of Macao is henceforward prohibited. \n\nIn conformity with the provisions of Article 83 of the Emigration Regulations, this determination shall be complied with within three months after this date. \n\n\"Let the competent authorities take note and execute the present Proclamation. \n\n\"Government House, Macao, 27th Dec., 1873. \n\nVISCONDE DE S. JANUARIO, *Governor of the Province, etc.* \n\nWe need hardly say that we most heartily congratulate His Excellency upon this measure. It is what we have always advocated as an indispensable preliminary to establishing an honest trade—if that be possible—under purely official control. The notification prohibiting the trade was published at half past ten on the afternoon of Saturday, and the news spread throughout the \"Holy City,\" causing general surprise and consternation. Many brokers who had received advances in the morning were recalled, and their agreements were cancelled. The fantan houses, with one or two exceptions, closed their doors and many of the barracoon men were dismissed. Upwards of 300 houses will, it is said, be vacated, and some 40,000 persons will be thrown out of employment. \n\nThese facts sufficiently testify to the importance of the action taken. Governor Januario has at length vindicated the honour of the Portuguese flag in the most satisfactory way, and all right-thinking men will appreciate the motives which have inspired both him and the Portuguese Government. Nor will the effects of the proclamation be confined to Macao alone. Peru and Cuba will indeed henceforth find their supply of servile labour cut off. But the Chinese will no longer be able to apply the term \"pig dealer,\" to the passing foreigner, and much of the ill feeling hitherto existing will die out. And this is by far more important than that a few planters should accumulate riches at the expense of human life and suffering. \n\nIt is to be hoped that Governor Januario and his able Secretary, Mr. Mesnier (whose masterly article on the Coolie Trade in the *China Review* has drawn down upon his head the wrath of half Macao) will receive both from Portugal and other countries a due recognition of the services they have rendered to humanity and to the good estate of foreign relations with China. For a considerable period, H. E. the Viscount has been impressing upon the mind of his Government the absolute necessity of total abolition, and Saturday's Proclamation crowns a series of efforts which have provoked considerable ill-will from those whose interests it injures. We trust that the news of his determination to resign is premature, and that he may be persuaded to retain his post at least until Macao has become accustomed to the new order of things. \n\nBy a purely unintentional coincidence, we had already put in type for this evening's paper, the list of coolie disasters from 1852 to 1872, which in this issue occupies so conspicuous a position. We do not, however, suppress it, preferring to let the record, which we intended as an argument, stand as Governor Januario's justification. No such list having, that we are aware of, been previously compiled, those not wholly indifferent to the matters it refers to will doubtless be interested in the details given. The list speaks for itself, and we need merely add that since 1852, over one hundred and ninety thousand coolies have left Macao, the majority of whom have found a last resting place in the countries of their servitude. We may very heartily thank Governor Januario for the fact that the close of 1873 witnesses the extinction of the once infamous Macao coolie trade.\n\n### MEMO.

It is a curious fact that the Chinese Government have never formally recognised the foreign occupation of the Peninsula of Macao, which is connected with China by a sandy isthmus; and that the Portuguese paid a small rent for it to the Emperor at Peking down to the year 1848, when all further payment was refused.

Are all these islands subject to their own native Chiefs? P4. The Caroline and Pelew Archipelago consists of above forty groups, containing between 300 and 400 islands, and they extend over a space of 1,530 miles.\n\nIt is presumed they are subject to their own native Chiefs; but their independence has never been formally acknowledged or guaranteed by this country.\n\nQ. 3. To whom belong such of these islands as are uninhabited?-A. It is difficult to give a satisfactory answer to this question.\n\nQ. 4. What steps should be taken to secure the possession of them?-A. It is difficult to give a satisfactory answer to this question.\n\nQ. 5. Is it known that the Dutch claim the sovereignty over the Pacific, south of 5° north latitude and west of 142° east longitude, including the western part of New Guinea and all the islands adjacent, including St. David's Island, belonging to the Sultan of Tidore, who is said to be under Dutch protection?-A. The boundaries of the Dutch possessions in the Eastern Seas are thus described in a letter from the Acting Consul-General for Netherlands India to the Colonial Secretary at Singapore, dated the 3rd June, 1880:\n\n\"En Asie, les Colonies et les possessions du Royaume des Pays-Bas, constituant le territoire des Indes Néerlandaises, sont situées entre 6° latitude septentrionale et 11° latitude méridionale, et entre 95° et 141° longitude orientale (Greenwich).\n\n\"Ces Colonies et ces possessions comprennent l'île de Sumatra avec les îles voisines appartenant; les archipels de Bintang ou Riouw et de Lingga; les îles de Karimou, de Tambelan, d'Anambas, et de Natuena; le groupe de Banea et de Billiton, avec les îles environnantes; Java avec Madura et les îlots d'alentour; Bornéo, à l'exception de la partie du côté du nord-ouest et du nord, du Cap Datoe jusqu'à Batoe Zenagat (4° 21′ latitude septentrionale et 117° 53′ longitude orientale) les îles situées autour de Bornéo au Sud de ces deux points; Célèbes et toutes les autres les vers l'est de Borneo et de Java, jusqu'au degré 141 longitude orientale, et vers le midi de l'archipel de Solok et de Mindanao, jusqu'au 11 degré latitude meridionale excepté Timor-Deli.\"\n\n3\n\nIt will be seen from the accompanying Map that this general description might include the Island of St. David, to the north of New Guinea, but it is not known for certain whether such was their intention.\n\nAt any rate, this description has never been formally accepted by the British Government as accurately describing the Dutch Colonial possessions.\n\nMr. Langen's previous letter to the Colonial Office is sent herewith.\n\n(Signed) Foreign Office, April 14, 1881.\n\nX\n\nE.

F. E. Douwes Dekker, aged 35, is a doctor of Political Science, born at Pasuruan, Java. He arrived from Holland via America per P. & O. S.S. \"Kellore\" on 18th November, and is at present in the venereal ward at the Government Civil Hospital, and will not be fit for discharge for about 10 days. \n\nHe is in possession of a Dutch passport issued on 24th August. The Vice-Consul for Holland informs me that the Chief of Police states in a report dated November 8th:- \n\n\"Monsieur E.F.E.Douwes Dekker was interned at Timor Koepang (N.I.) by a Government decree No. 1A of 18th August, 1913. As a favour he was allowed to go to Europe at his own expense, but, should he return to Netherlands India, he would be apprehended forthwith and transported to the said Island. The N.I.Authorities know from a reliable source that M. Douwes Dekker is still being assisted by his party (the Indian party) in Netherlands India from the so-called Tado fund and that he continues to plot against the Netherlands Indian Government in a very secret way by continuously entering into correspondence with the 'Geheime Comite von Actie' (Secret Committee of Action) at Batavia through the medium of middlemen, it has been deemed necessary to have him shadowed and his correspondence censored. The following information would be greatly appreciated:- \n\n(a). What sums of money are being sent to him? \n\n(b). Who are the individuals that make those remittances and from where are these sent? \n\n(c). What people does he meet here (presumably Germans, British Indians, Turks or Arabs)? \n\n(d).

He would accordingly suggest that it should be made a rule in future that any individual or firm in China, Siam, the Dutch East Indies, or the Philippines, who may desire to import arms or ammunition of any description from any part of His Majesty's dominions must obtain a recommendation from the local Consular authorities before placing the order. The Consular recommendation would not of course relieve the British exporter from the necessity of obtaining a permit for the exportation of his goods; nor would it involve any relaxation of the careful scrutiny to which all applications for permits are already subjected. But it would be treated as an indispensable preliminary in default of which no such application can even be considered.\n\nA similar arrangement would be desirable, if practicable, as regards Macao and Portuguese Timor.\n\nIf Mr. Secretary Balfour concurs, and is prepared to issue the necessary instructions to the Consular authorities concerned, Mr. Chamberlain will ask the War Trade Department, if they see no objection, to make it generally known that the new regulation will be enforced after a prescribed date. Learning that this has been done, he will instruct the Government of India accordingly, and will request the Secretary of State for the Colonies to send instructions in the same sense to the Crown Colonies and Protectorates, and to invite His Majesty's self-governing Dominions to apply a similar regulation within their respective territories.\n\nA copy of this letter is being communicated to the War Office, War Trade Department, Colonial Office and Board of Trade.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nForeign Office.\n\n—Foreign Office to India Office.\n\nENCLOSURE No. 2.\n\nNo. 9180 45/A.

Portuguese Timor has been omitted from the list of territories to which the new regulation is to apply, as it has been ascertained from the Foreign Office, since my letter of the 12th January was written, that the locality does not fall within the jurisdiction of any British Consular authority.

Then the case was finally shelved in the Farm's favour he was given a bonus of $500, and was much disgusted as thousands were paid to other witnesses, and the Attorney General and the Opium Superintendent (Harbour Master) made huge sums.\n\nFernandes also stated that the allowance of 500 chests a year for Macao is insufficient to pay the Farmer on his present subsidy of over six and a half million dollars a year, so he gets quantities of opium from Kwangchouwan.\n\nTo sum up: I understand that all the shipments abroad purporting to be boiled opium have really been molasses, and therefore the drug smuggled into China must have consisted of the total Macao allowance plus importations from Kwangchouwan. In this connection I was told by a friend the other day that it is a well known fact that a Clerk in the Opium Office, drawing $150 a month, was presented last Christmas with $40,000 for services rendered.\n\nKnowing all this, it will be interesting to see what kind of a case the new Colonial Secretary will make for you.\n\nIt is absolutely impossible for me to prevent smuggling as the worst offenders are Chinese Government launches and men-of-war, who refuse to be examined at my stations.

He would accordingly suggest that it should be made a rule in future that any individual or firm in China, Siam, the Dutch East Indies, or the Philippines, who may desire to import arms or ammunition of any description from any part of His Majesty's dominions must obtain a recommendation from the local Consular authorities before placing the order. The Consular recommendation would not of course relieve the British exporter from the necessity of obtaining a permit for the exportation of his goods; nor would it involve any relaxation of the careful scrutiny to which all applications for permits are already subjected. But it would be treated as an indispensable preliminary in default of which no such application can even be considered.\n\nA similar arrangement would be desirable, if practicable, as regards Macao and Portuguese Timor.\n\nIf Mr. Secretary Balfour concurs, and is prepared to issue the necessary instructions to the Consular authorities concerned, Mr. Chamberlain will ask the War Trade Department, if they see no objection, to make it generally known that the new regulation will be enforced after a prescribed date. On learning that this has been done, he will instruct the Government of India accordingly, and will request the Secretary of State for the Colonies to send instructions in the same sense to the Crown Colonies and Protectorates, and to invite His Majesty's self-governing Dominions to apply a similar regulation within their respective territories.\n\nA copy of this letter is being communicated to the War Office, War Trade Department, Colonial Office and Board of Trade.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State.\n\nForeign Office.\n\nENCLOSURE No. 2---Foreign Office to India Office.\n\nNo. 9180/45/A.\n\nSir,\n\nI am, &c.,\n\nA.

I am directed by Mr. Secretary Long to acknowledge the receipt of your letter P.62, of the 12th January, enclosing a copy of a letter to the Foreign Office with regard to the exportation of arms and ammunition to China, Siam, the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, and Portuguese Timor and Macao.\n\n2. As regards the self-governing Dominions, Mr. Long is prepared, on learning what procedure is to be adopted in the case of exports from the United Kingdom, to inform the Dominion Governments of the arrangements and ask them to bear them in mind, should it be necessary to consider proposals to make such shipments from Dominion ports.\n\n3. As regards the Colonies not possessing responsible government and protectorates, licences for the exportation of prohibited goods are not granted by the Colonial Governments without reference to the Secretary of State, and the question would, therefore, arise only in the case of arms and ammunition transhipped in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong for the countries in question.\n\n1. The present position as regards transhipments in the ports of these two Colonies is as follows:-\n\n(a) The Governors of both Colonies have instructions not to allow the transhipment of any arms and ammunition to Siam,\n\n(b) The Governors of both Colonies have instructions to detain all arms and ammunition transhipped in or in transit through the Colonies for the Dutch East Indies pending inquiry of the British Consul-General at Batavia,\n\n(c) The question of arms and ammunition intended for the Philippines has been discussed with the Foreign Office, and it was decided that it would suffice if all suspicious shipments were reported to the British Consul-General at Manila. Under the general instructions applying to the transhipment in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong of goods obtained from foreign countries and destined for foreign countries in Asia, the Governors of the Colonies consult the British Consular Officer at the port of destination where necessary before allowing the goods to proceed. Mr. Long is prepared to instruct the Governors of both Colonies to detain all arms and ammunition transhipped for the Philippines pending consultation with the British Consul-General at Manila, if it is desired, bearing in mind that there is the probability of representations by the Government of the United States of America, if arms and ammunition on the way from the United States to the Philippines are delayed unduly on transhipment in the Colonies.\n\n(d) As regards China, in addition to the general arrangements as to transhipped goods described under (c), there are special arrangements by which arms transhipped at Hong Kong are released only at the request of the Chinese Minister of War through the British Legation.\n\n(e) The case of transhipments for Portuguese Timor and Macao has not been discussed previously, but if necessary Mr. Long is prepared to instruct the Governors of the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong to detain all arms and ammunition transhipped for those countries pending inquiry of the appropriate British Consular Officer.\n\n5. Mr. Long will be glad to learn in due course whether it is desired that further instructions should be sent to the Governors of the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong as suggested in the preceding paragraph.\n\nE.

In continuation of my letter of the 12th January 1917, No. P.62, regarding the export of firearms, &c., to certain neutral destinations in the Far East, I am directed by the Secretary of State for India to enclose, for the information of the War Trade Department, copy of letters received from the Foreign Office and Colonial Office, intimating their readiness to send instructions, in the sense desired by this Office, to the officers and administrations under their superintendence.\n\nI am to request that, if there is no objection on the part of your Department, steps may now be taken to notify to all concerned that on and after a prescribed date (say the 1st April 1917) every application for permission to export arms and ammunition of any description from the United Kingdom to China, Siam, the Dutch East Indies, or Macao, must be accompanied by a recommendation from the British Consular authorities in the country of destination; and that, in the absence of such recommendation, no application will be even considered. Portuguese Timor has been omitted from the list of territories to which the new regulation is to apply, as it has been ascertained from the Foreign Office, since my letter of the 12th January was written, that the locality does not fall within the jurisdiction of any British Consular authority.

(c)-All sewage on the Western side of Kowloon Peninsula should be diverted to outfalls at Kowloon Point and North of the Cosmopolitan Dock.\n\n10. As our recommendations do involve the supply of Salt Water, the question of \"the provision of suitable pipes\" does not arise.\n\nT. L. PERKINS, Chairman. L. GIBBS. R. M. HENDERSON. C.E. WARREN.\n\nJuly 9th, 1921.\n\n6. The City and Peak Water Supply has about reached the limit of its capacity. It is suggested that the cost of this should be met by an additional rate in the districts concerned, each district being first given the option to decide by vote whether or no it will adopt a Water Carriage System with the proposed Water Carriage Services to the Peak and Middle Levels.\n\nThe present supply (1920) is fully 7 million gallons a day. The water required for the Peak and Middle Levels amounts to 5 and 22 million gallons a year, respectively. One inch of water on an acre amounts to 22,000 gallons. In the driest recorded year at least 20 inches of rain can be collected in Hongkong, so that the above amounts can be collected respectively from 12 and 50 acres.\n\nThe present gathering ground of the City and Hill District Water Works amounts to 2,561 acres. There is however an area of about 2,600 acres in the neighbourhood of Taitam which is available for catchment and which may be reckoned on to increase the supply (without further reservoirs) from its present figure of 7 millions to 10 millions a day. A catchwater to intercept the water from about 300 acres of the above 2,600 acres at a cost of $70,000 is now in contemplation; this will provide an additional supply of at least 130 million gallons a year and will take no longer to carry out than the works necessary for supplying at a much greater cost ($417,000) 27 million gallons of Salt Water a year.\n\n(b)-Peak District.\n\nThe sanitary advantage to the Peak owing to its scattered location and the long carry for fæcal matter, is so great and the amount of water required is so small that a Public Water Carriage System using fresh water might with advantage be adopted there as soon as the necessary additions to the Peak pumping plant, now on order, are installed.\n\n(c)-Middle Levels.\n\nIn the Middle Levels the amount of water required is a more serious matter and the sanitary advantage less, and it seems that a Public Water Carriage System using fresh water should remain in abeyance there till an adequate extension of the Taitam gathering ground has been put in hand.\n\n7.-The Kowloon Works will produce 1.7 million gallons a day in the driest recorded year and can be considerably extended at a comparatively small cost. The present supply is about 1.3 million gallons a day. The Water Supply in Kowloon is therefore still fairly ahead of present requirements, but in view of the rapid growth of the district a Water Carriage System using fresh water should not be installed until extensions of the present Water Works are put in hand.\n\nGeneral.\n\n6-The time may come when the limit of the fresh water resources of the Colony has been so nearly reached that it will be more economical to obtain a supply of Salt Water than to obtain an equal additional supply of fresh water, but it does not appear that that time has yet arrived, and no works which may be carried out now for the use of fresh water will in any way interfere with the use of Salt Water when its use is found to be more economical.\n\n9.-Some alterations to the sewerage system in each of the three districts will be desirable. After perusing the six reports (Annexes 5-10) received from Mr. Newhouse, we have come to the following conclusions:-\n\n(a)-The drainage of the Peak District should be diverted to an outfall on the South side of the Island.\n\nHONGKONG\n\nBOOK-KEEPER'S SHARP SENTENCE.\n\nPROCEEDINGS IN MACAO.\n\nCarlos José Sequeira appeared before Tribunal in Macao, this week, on the charge of forgery.\n\nThe defendant was a book-keeper in the Hongkong branch, in Pedder Street, of the North West Trading Co., Ltd., and it was alleged that he forged the signature of the manager of the branch to 34 cheques, in 1919 and 1920. On October 21st, 1920, Sequeira absented himself, on which date suspicions were first aroused, and rewards for information leading to his arrest were widely published.\n\nSubsequent investigations revealed a number of forgeries of the manager's signature on cheques and the omission to enter them in the Company's books. These cheques were all made payable to Sequeira. The counterfoils of the cheques, in some cases, bore different amounts from those which appeared on the cheques themselves, and names of persons other than Sequeira. In other cases the counterfoils had been cancelled. The total amount involved in the charges was $11,990.\n\nSequeira, who claims to be a Portuguese subject, was arrested by the police at Macao.\n\nA number of witnesses from Hongkong attended; the Procurator of Macao conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. H. Nolasco defended. Mr. T. M. Hazlerigg (Assistant Crown Solicitor) watched the proceedings on behalf of the Hongkong Government.\n\nThe Chief Justice sentenced the defendant to six years' imprisonment at Timor, telling him that, but for extenuating circumstances, the sentence would have been one of twelve years.\n\nThe sentence does not begin to run until it has been confirmed by the Portuguese authorities at Goa.\n\nOwing to military movements in the Central Yangtsze region, a Hankow message says, cargo deliveries from the provinces are very difficult to obtain.\n\nThe Java-China-Japan Line has distributed a dividend of 15 per cent, for the year 1920. The report speaks of the business of the Company having been seriously affected by the competition of Japanese and American Shipping Board vessels, and alludes to the disturbing effect which the violent fluctuations in the rate of the Mexican dollar has had on business life in Eastern Asia.\n\n182\n\n[September 3rd, 1921.\n\nCORRESPONDENCE.\n\nAN INACCURATE REPORT.\n\n[TO THE EDITOR OF THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS.]\n\nSIR, My attention has to-day been called to an article appearing in your issue of May 27th, referring to statistics purported to have been given by me.\n\nIt seems regrettable that inaccurate newspaper reports should be taken as authoritative statements. Having had the privilege of conferring with the Authorities of the Civil Medical Department and having in my possession the published reports of that Department, it is not likely that I should have made such an unintelligible statement as the one appearing in the Hongkong and other Eastern papers.\n\nOn first seeing the report as it appeared in the Eastern papers, I took steps through Reuters to correct the statement made. This correction will, of course, have reached you many weeks before my letter.\n\nIt is regrettable that the Sanitary Board were inveigled into spending valuable time in discussing the accuracy of the statement that was never made in the form in which they considered it.\n\nThe Eastern Commission have placed their reports on the Eastern Colonies in the hands of the National Council. This body has already transmitted them to the Colonial Office, by whom they will doubtless be forwarded to the Colonial Governments concerned.—Yours very truly,\n\nSYBIL NEVILLE ROLFE,\n\nGeneral Secretary.\n\n80, Avenue Chambers,\n\nSouthampton Row, London, W.C.1.\n\nJuly 19th, 1921.\n\n[The article to which Mrs. Rolfe refers was based on a Reuter cable attributing certain statements to her. These formed the subject of a series of questions by Dr. KOCH at a meeting of the Sanitary Board, to which answers were given by the Medical Officer of Health. We have received through Reuter's no correction to the statements attributed to Mrs. Rolfe in the telegram which formed the basis of our comment.-ED.]\n\nSUSPECTED ARSON.\n\nA KEROSENE FIRE IN WINGLOK STREET.\n\nAttempted arson is alleged in a report received by the police from the manager of a Chinese shop occupying the ground floor of No. 32, Winglok Street.\n\nThe manager states that he was asleep in the front part of the shop when he was awakened by one of his coolies with an alarm of fire. At the back of the shop he saw smoke filtering in through cracks in the back door. There was also a strong smell of kerosene. When the door was opened, a pile of waste paper saturated in petroleum was found burning furiously immediately outside. The manager and his coolies got buckets of water and managed to extinguish the flames. Near the door, was found an empty bottle which had contained kerosene.\n\nThe first and second floors of the house are occupied as a Boarding House, so that if the fire had involved the building there might have been great loss of life.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 494526, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-479 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [1-3]", "page_number": 71, "title": "CO129-479 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [1-3]", "content_text": "RESIDENCY\n\nOpium-Regie\n\nYear of intro-\n\nduction of the\n\n- 46 —\n\n \n NUMBER OF\n Opium-retail-shop\n Opium-dens\n \n \n At the time\n At the time\n the intro-On ultimo of the intro.\n \n \n On ultimo\n August\n duction of\n \n \n August 1922\n duction of\n the Opium\n \n \n \n the Opium-\n Regie\n \n \n \n Regie\n August 1922\n \n \n Brought Forward\n 1093\n 706\n 829\n \n \n Lampong Districts\n 1902\n 5\n 4\n 1\n \n \n Palembang\n 1906\n 10\n 8\n 6\n 2\n \n \n Jambi\n do\n 2\n 2\n 1\n \n \n East-Coast of Sumatra\n 1912\n 212\n 187\n 32\n \n \n Achin and attached territories\n 1913\n 51\n 53\n 6\n 5\n \n \n Riouw and att. territories\n 1911\n 65\n 55\n 3\n \n \n Banka and att. territories Billiton\n 1906\n 9\n 10\n 6\n \n \n \n 1909\n 6\n 6\n 4\n \n \n Western Residency of Borneo\n \n 58\n 38\n 1\n \n \n South. & East.

The question of supplying Timor with opium is one which, so far as is known, has never yet been raised; nor has this department any information with regard to the legitimate requirements of that colony. If, however, the Portuguese press this point, the question of negotiating a separate agreement might be considered for the supply of opium to the Timor Colonial Government.\n\n6. The Portuguese refuse to accept the proposal that all opium imported into Macao should be transhipped at Hongkong. This suggestion was apparently first made by Sir R.E. Stubbs \"pending the completion of the agreement for direct purchase\", in his despatch to the Colonial Office of the 29th March, 1921. If the Portuguese Government are ready to take all their supplies of opium from India, the proposal would seem superfluous and might well be dropped.\n\n7. The Portuguese Government note that it will be necessary that Macao's imports from India will have to be covered by certificates of the Macao Government that they are required for legitimate purposes.\n\n8.

GENERAL\n\n(1) In Portugal, the Madeira Islands, the Azores, and in the Portuguese Colonies in Africa, Asia, and Oceania (Cape Verde, Guinea, San Tomé, Angola, Mozambique, the Indies, and Timor), no opium problems exist. The only Portuguese territory where they arise is Macao, in the south of China.\n\nThe Portuguese nation, not being in direct contact with countries in which the effects of narcotic drugs are apparent, had not realised until quite recently the necessity of taking defensive measures to prevent the abuse of such drugs.\n\nIn actual fact, the habit of opium smoking is confined to Asiatics in Macao; at the same time, the imports of raw opium into this colony have fallen from 2,000 cases in 1912 to 800 cases in 1926.\n\nPathological cases of the abuse of drugs, which must not be confounded with moderate opium smoking, have only been observed hitherto in the two big towns of Lisbon and Oporto, and then only very exceptionally. They may be said to be obvious only to doctors.\n\nThe measures already taken by the Portuguese Government, moreover, constitute an absolute guarantee against the abuse of alkaloids throughout the home and colonial territories.\n\nThis explains why Portuguese legislators have been in no hurry to promulgate measures for the prevention of an evil which is of so rare occurrence and so imperfectly known.\n\n## Customs/", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-502-10 Macao opium traffic 6-12-1926 - 7-12-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 511892, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-506-12 Kowloon-Canton railway- new rolling stock and engines 25-11-1927 - 25-11-1927", "page_number": 24, "title": "CO129-506-12 Kowloon-Canton railway- new rolling stock and engines 25-11-1927 - 25-11-1927", "content_text": "2/\n\nclauso lo above) ale to be of solid äram copper.\n\n45.

Nothing more had, he said, come of this scheme as it had been discouraged by the Portuguese Government.

He replied that he had none as regards Macao but that enquiries had been made by Japanese private individuals of the Portuguese Legation at Tokyo as to the possibility of acquiring land for settlement purposes in Timor. Nothing more had, he said, come of this scheme as it had been discouraged by the Portuguese Government. He readily promised to telegraph to his Government to ascertain what truth there was in the reports regarding Macao.

For some years the operation of these works has been in the hands of the (Portuguese) Colonial Government, though the Waterworks Company has not actually been dissolved or declared bankrupt.\n\nOne result of this has been the creation of a debt of some £100,000, owed by the Waterworks Company to the Macao Colonial Government.\n\n2.\n\nIn January 1935 the Governor of Macao took steps to inform the Hong Kong Colonial Government that he had been approached by Japanese interests with an offer to take over and improve the operation of the waterworks.\n\nThe Governor of Macao is stated to be anti-Japanese, and his reason for informing the Hong Kong Government was to give British interests an opportunity of countering the Japanese move.\n\n3.\n\nOn 22nd February the Japanese agent in charge of the negotiations presented a further petition to the Macao Government, detailing an offer to take over the waterworks on even more favourable terms than those previously quoted. The offer includes repayment of existing debts to the Government and to shareholders.\n\nOther inducements, unconnected with the waterworks, include the establishment of new industries in Macao, and the institution of a new Japanese steamship service between Hong Kong, Canton, Timor and Portuguese India.\n\n-8-\n\nPage 12\n\n \n(No more text is given here as the original prompt cuts off at \"12/\")", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-553-5 Japanese activities in Macao and Canton 31-1-1935 - 22-11-1935.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 548481, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-553-5 Japanese activities in Macao and Canton 31-1-1935 - 22-11-1935", "page_number": 126, "title": "CO129-553-5 Japanese activities in Macao and Canton 31-1-1935 - 22-11-1935", "content_text": "II.\n\nNate prepared in the Colonial Office.\n\nThe Japanese have made an offer to the Government of the Portuguese Colony of Macao* for a contract -\n\n(1) to build a waterworks at a cost of $1,500,000;\n\n(2) to purchase the whole site of a new inland port for several million dollars cash;\n\n(3) to establish and operate a line of 2,000 ton cargo steamers to run between Hong Kong, Canton and Timor;\n\n(4) to pay off existing debts of established industries.\n\nIn the opinion of the Macao Government all this would mean prosperity for that Colony, but they are afraid that it would also mean virtual Japanese control of the territory.\n\nMacao, it is claimed, has excellent aerodrome sites and a new harbour which could give a depth of 20 feet after a short period of dredging.

Indeed, their expressions of regret seemed to border on the sincere. Then they machine-gunned automobiles from the British Embassy and admitted their error with a frankness that showed refreshing signs of child-like simplicity. They commanded British ships to halt, boarded them, searched them, apologised for the inconvenience they had caused—and that was all there was to it.\n\nTheir latest faux pas has been fraught with tragic circumstances. Japanese airmen flew over an area which their Government had promised not to fly over, swooped to within talking distance almost of the people on the ground, and deliberately shot and killed a British soldier who was performing his lawful duties. Once again the Japanese were promptness personified in the matter of expressing regrets.\n\nBut regrets will not bring a dead man back to life, and no amount of elaborate excuses will suffice to pardon a breach of an undertaking known to the world to the effect that Japanese war planes would not fly over that sacrosanct zone.\n\nWhat next? You can twist the lion's tail a certain amount, but give it just one little twist too much and look out!\n\nJapanese bombers' diabolical handiwork at Sunkiang railway station on September 8, when a refugee train was attacked. Note the two human bodies blasted up to the trees.\n\n## (Continued from previous Column)\n\nThere have been so many happenings in which the Japanese have been involved that it were best to make a careful selection and from that selection choose a major premise.\n\nIf Britain or America, for that matter, had taken as much offence at every insulting and hurtful action of the Japanese against their Governments and their nationals as Japan was pleased to take against certain minor acts by certain irresponsible Chinese, then Japan would to-day be taking not merely tastes but whole bucket-fulls of her own metallic medicine.\n\nWhat could be more appropriate to the present occasion than the happening at Lukou-chiao which occurred the evening of July 7?\n\nThat happening was the \"incident\" which started the spark which started the Sino-Japanese conflagration. The basic facts of that happening are very simple; namely, that the Japanese troops were indulging in nocturnal exercises of a military kind and the Chinese troops were on guard close at hand. A shot was fired, by whom and from what side nobody has yet been able to state definitely, and that started a lot of other shots.\n\nThe Japanese subsequently reported two killed and launched a punitive expedition to \"chastise\" the \"outrageous\" Chinese.\n\nIf that happening was deemed sufficient by the Japanese to start a war of aggression against China, then what the Japanese have done to Britishers and British property during the past three months should surely afford sufficient justification for the combined forces of the British Empire blowing the combined forces of the Japanese Empire plumb to hell.\n\nHowever, that unruffled calm which characterises most things British in the diplomatic sphere still prevails, and it is not for one moment anticipated that any impetuosity in this instance will alter the even tenor of Britain's diplomatic ways. Accepting this inevitability in as philosophical a manner as is possible under circumstances which, to say the very least in the mildest language, are nothing short of exasperating, it is improving to the mind though not exactly inspiring to the body, to contemplate the attitude of the Japanese in certain comparatively recent happenings.\n\n## (Continued on next Column)\n\nIn their forbearance, have Britain and America shown their gigantic strength?\n\nThere is a delicate point which we feel must be faced. For how long will Britain remain silent under these repeated outrages? The delicate point is this, namely, that the longer she suffers in silence the more does her prestige suffer and that of her nationals.\n\nIf Japan is desirous of embroiling Western nations in a Far Eastern war of devastatingly colossal proportions, then she is certainly going the right way about this wrong thing.\n\nThen regrets, even Japanese regrets, can be of no avail.\n\nRuin followed in the wake of Japanese bombing planes which rained disaster on helpless civilian refugees at South Station, Shanghai, on September 3.\n\n## JEAN BATTEN Was\n\n(Continued from previous Column) | (Continued from previous Column)\n\nBewilderment, at what has been achieved since. To the pioneers of long distance flights, solo flights, and record-breaking flights, due praise is accorded. The recent flight of the Russian aviators from Moscow to America, stands out as one of the greatest air journeys of modern times.\n\nLast year, in October, Miss Batten broke the solo record flight from England to Australia by 23 hours 17 minutes. Leaving England on October 5, the intrepid airwoman landed at Port Darwin on October 11. In 1934, flying in a five-year-old Moth, Miss Batten completed a similar journey in 14 days 23 hours. In November, 1935, she flew from Lympne to Port Natal in 61 hours 15 minutes, compared with the previous record of 16 hours was not mentioned, it is assumed the record was for a different route. On October 19, Miss Jean Batten, the famous New Zealand aviatrix, landed at Lympne on October 24, having broken the record for the Australia-England flight, beating Harry Broadbent's time by fourteen hours and nine minutes.\n\nShe broke the record for the flight from Port Darwin to Lympne. Her most notable flight was from Dakar to Brazil in November, 1935, her time being 13 hours 15 minutes.\n\nIn the course of her flights, Miss Batten has flown over the Tasman Sea, a distance of 1,300 miles, and across the Timor Sea on her latest record. Having added this new air triumph to her already formidable laurels, Miss Batten is perhaps planning another record-breaking dash between England and some place or other, or may be she will be content to rest awhile. Whatever may be her future plans, for the present achievement we say, well done, Miss Batten!\n\nPage 100 \nPage 101", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-563-17 Sino-Japanese War- attacks on shipping.

One has always heard that the fall of Macao will be the first manifestation of the so-called Yellow Peril, but there seems little danger of this at present, either from a partly organized armed mob or, still less, from regular troops under Nanking's orders. \n\n10. \n\nDr. Barbosa spoke of the Mediterranean, but I need only say that he does not fall into the common error of trying to fit the Sino-Japanese conflict into the political dichotomy of present-day Europe. Anything may have happened before you receive this despatch, but as I write it would seem that both Germany and Italy are finding it difficult to affix the proper labels in Asia at a time when both are actively helping China with munitions and with those \"advisers\" who alone have made China's resistance possible. The Government of Portugal is said to be anti-Bolshevik, but Dr. Barbosa takes the Machiavellian view that out here this may safely be left to Japan to deal with. \n\n11. \n\nMuch has been made of Japan's peaceful penetration in Macao and in other Portuguese colonies in Asia. The Macao waterworks negotiations in 1935 and 1936, of which you are aware, are a notable example, and besides these I was told of an important land transaction in Timor, an attempted substitution of Formosan sugar for the Mozambique product, and, in Macao itself, the question of certain concessions, salt and alcohol in particular. Dr. Barbosa showed no signs of treating this \"bogey\" too seriously, though he is frankly against Japanese intrusion and would from all points of view welcome British capital in cases where foreign capital in Macao is necessary.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-563-5 Macao- relationship with Hong Kong 6-7-1937 - 13-12-1937.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 564226, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "page_number": 189, "title": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "content_text": "M3 \n\nS111 \n\nIn any further communication on this subject please quote \nNo. F2841/2841/61 \nand address—not to any person by name, to \n\"The Under-Secretary of State\", Foreign Office, London, S.W.1. \n\nDupl \n53504/34 \n\nTHE Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs presents his \ncompliments to the Under-Secretary of State \nfor \nThe Colonies and, by direction of the Secretary of State, \ntransmits herewith copy of the under-mentioned paper. \n\nForeign Office, \n30 March \n1935 \n\nRECEIVED \n221 \n\n| Reference to previous correspondence | Name and Date | Description of Enclosure | Subject |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Commnl-General, Batavia, 10th March | | Visit of Japanese Consular official to Port Darwin and Timor. |\n14 \n\nSimilar letter sent to \n6130 18804", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 564227, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "page_number": 190, "title": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "content_text": "**(P2841/2841/61)**\n## NO. 51\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n**BRITISH CONSULATE-GENERAL, BATAVIA.**\n\nMarch 9th, 1939.\n\n222\n\nFrom the Governor of Portuguese Timor to Consul-General Fitzmaurice, of February 15th, 1939.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nIn my despatch No.177 of the 12th June, 1938, I had the honour to send Your Lordship information of a tour to Darwin and Portuguese Timor undertaken by Mr. NONOMURA, the Japanese Consul at Menado.\n\n8 is not a coherent paragraph and seems to be a page or section number; the correct order should be maintained as per the original content.\n\nHaving received confidential information that the main business of Mr. Konomura's in Timor was to strengthen the Hanyo Kohatsu Keisha's control over the Sociedade Agricola, I addressed a personal and confidential letter in August last to the Governor of Portuguese Timor enquiring if he could give me any information on the subject.

Confined to bed during nearly three months, my health has improved slowly and I had to postpone the answer to many letters.\n\nI must apologise for not answering your letter in time, but I hope you will agree that I was forced to do it.\n\nIn reference to the subject of your letter I can inform you that the visit of Mr. Nonomura has confirmed your opinion that his main object is to extend the influence of the Nanyo Kohatsu Kaisha. He is not a gentleman nor a diplomat. I received him according to his social position and I invited him to an official dinner party. But in the course of the official conversations he has demonstrated not to be capable for his job. He has insisted on the simple approval of the contract with Sociedade Agricola in such a way that I was forced to contradict and declare that the conversations...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 564230, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "page_number": 193, "title": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "content_text": "## \n\nconversations about the subject were finished. \n\nThen I convoked the two Portuguese managers of \nthe Sociedade to a private conversation, in result of \nwhich they have protested to their partner, the Japanese \nMr. Cagava, against the intromission of Mr. Nonomura in \ntheir business.
